Filmed in April 2023, I drive around the small town Time, Illinois to see what's going on.
Time is a village in Pike County, Illinois, United States. The population was 29 at the 2000 census.
Time was established as a village in 1857. The slogan for the village, created in 1910, is "Time marches on 1857-2007."
It thrived during the 20th century but later met a decline.
When the censuses began in 1880, there were roughly 120 members of the community. There were also 4 stores, 2 churches, 2 wagons, a blacksmith shop, and a flouring mill. The popularity of the community has slowly declined and in the 2010 census, there were only 22 community members.
One of the prized possessions of the township is the bandstand which is located on the square next to the shelter house. The bandstand was established around the years of 1906 and 1907. This housed the concerts of the brass band that was famous around the county in the 19th and 20th century. It also had a string band in 1867. Time was also known for its revolutionary invention of the granitoid sidewalk.
As for the schooling, there was a two room brick schoolhouse. This school still resides on the east side of the village and is no longer in use. It has been vacant since 1950. It is just west of the cemetery.
As of the census of 2000, there were 29 people, 13 households, and 7 families residing in the village.
The racial makeup of the village was 100.00% White.
The per capita income for the village was $12,253. #driving #travel #drivingtour
