LOOKING FOR PHOTOGRAPHS and stories of the miniature golf course in Hoopeston, Illinois. FOR 65 years this miniature golf course has been on the west side of McFerren Park. From information gleaned from golfers, this course was built in 1959 by the Hoopeston High School Industrial Arts teacher and his wife (Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner) with additions of more holes in the 70s. Some people tell of having their first date at this miniature golf course, eating at the restaurant across the road (Henning's), and then golfing. Now these same people are bringing their grandchildren. The features have changed over the years. Many people tell about being there when it was being built, working there, the features, and where they were located.
