Hawthorn Grove Then and Now

Hawthorn Grove began as a small community beside a creek. The 1950 photograph shows a dirt road, a train station, and a few homes. The station was a busy place when trains stopped there. The photograph does not show a library or a playground.

A 1950 map shows the creek along the south side of town. The train station is north of the creek, and the school is east of the station. A dirt road connects the station and the school. Most homes are near the station.

The timeline shows that a bridge over the creek opened in 1970. A library opened near the school in 1995. By 2020, the town had a paved road, a playground beside the school, and more homes south of the creek.

The 2020 photograph shows the old station being used as a small history museum. It also shows the paved road and the playground. The 2020 map places the museum where the station stood in 1950. The creek still runs along the south side, but a footbridge now connects the homes south of the creek with the school and library.
