Which Illinois Counties Have the Oldest Homes???

Illinois has several counties in which you can find really old homes. This is because Illinois, which was granted statehood in 1818, has had residents since before the Revolutionary War, when the French commanded forts and bases in the area. In this video, we are taking a look at the information compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau for the counties in Illinois that have the oldest homes. The criteria for this list was the median year that the homes in the county were built and the percentage of homes that pre-date 1939.
