Hampshire and the surrounding prairie lands of northeastern Illinois are documented here during a period of steady residential growth and agricultural preservation. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Coon Cr and a dense network of county roads that connect the primary settlements of Burlington and New Lebanon. This area, split by the DeKalb and Kane County line, maintains deep genealogical roots visible through its numerous burial grounds, including the Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic Cem and the small Ward Family Cem to the south.
