Elgin Watch Company, Elgin, Illinois

This historical marker is at the entrance to a parking lot.  I'm not sure if they intended for people to actually read it.  

Welcome to the Robert M. Knight Historical Marker Page

The Robert M. Knight Memorial Historical Marker Page

This page will feature historical markers I come across along the way, regardless of their historical obscurity.  It is named after my father, Robert M. Knight, who some say tortured my family growing up by stopping at each and every one of these things and reading them fully on our family treks.  It is now in my blood.  Sorry.
