Charlie Halleck Discovery

Whether you live in DeMotte and drive down Halleck Street or go to Saint Joseph's College and visit the Halleck Center, it's hard to avoid the lingering traces of this former national statesman from Jasper County.

The Rensselaer Central Schools has unearthed a new historical link to Charlie Halleck, in the form of a 48-star U.S. Flag and a letter describing its significance. I'll advise you to read more about it in this blog post by RCS teacher Mark Heinig.

For more about Charlie Halleck, I welcome you to visit our Charlie Halleck Day local history collection on the JCPL website.
