Submission to Kane County

The collection consists of the Preserve Campton records from 2004 to 2011, with the bulk of the material dating from 2004 to 2007. The records reflect the organization’s activities relating to the fight of the annexation of Campton Township and the creation of the Village of Campton Hills in order to control future developments of properties in the Campton Township. The materials are arranged into three series. The first series is the creation of Preserve Campton and corporate documents including bylaws, committees, finances, meeting records, and more. The second series deals with the fight against the Elgin annexations with records such as petitions, plans, statements, correspondence, and newspaper clippings. The third series is about the incorporation effort of the Village of Campton Hills but there are many missing minutes and documentation of groups activities. An oversized booklet about the subject properties proposed action of Stony Creek.
