ARCOLA –Anyone doubting the impact of the porous Mexican border on cities in the United States need only drive to the small town of Arcola, Illinois in southern Douglas County.

The current exhibit at the Illinois Amish Interpretive Center may leave you with chills down your spine, as well as a better understanding of the Amish faith.

Every once in awhile, you stumble across something in small town America that will truly startle and get you thinking. The “Mirror of the Martyrs” exhibit, running through June 15, is such.
