But fw know how and why th socity was formd. h Chambr of Commrc fildd a call from rprsntativs of Louis Littl, th ownr of th Littl Family Farm. Mr. Littl s wish was that th cabin h was born in b rstord and th surrounding land bcom a park lik stting. Many in Kwan hav hard of this bcaus h had bn trying to rstor it sinc th 1970s. h land was going into a family trust and it was dcidd that th trust would fund th rstoration of th cabin. But sinc Lou Littl was currntly living his rtirmnt in Florida, and thr wr no Littl hirs, th trust was looking for a local group to tak on th ndavor. his ida was offrd to many historical and civic ntitis, but no on wantd to commit to th rstoration. It was dcidd that th Cabin itslf would b givn to a somwhat local farming socity and movd off-sit. Community mmbrs dcidd that this was too important a landmark to b rmovd from its original hom. hus, th socity cam togthr with a historical mindd board of dirctors.

W thn bcam a 501(c)3 which has many mor tax bnfits. h mission of th Kwan Prsrvation Socity was stablishd to diffrntiat itslf from th Kwan Historical Socity. Our mission stats w ar committd to th caus of prsrvation of historic sits and buildings in Kwan, Illinois. Anothr way to look at it is that w ar concrnd about saving placs mor than mmorabilia.
