The Kentucky part consists of many low, rolling hills, primarily underlain by rocks of Pennsylvanian age, including coal. The coal is primarily accessed by strip mining techniques, which have been envrionmentally devestating to parts of this region.
Mineral resources of the Illinois part include fluorite, mined for many years near Golconda. The Shawnee National Forest contains much of this part of Illinois. This area includes some fairly remoted designated wilderness areas, and much scenery, although the forests are almost exclusively second- and third- growth. The Shawnee Hills of Illinois attracted may settlers from farther south in Kentucky and Tennessee, especially during the early 19th century, and the culture of the region still has a decidedly Southern flavor.
Begun in 1974, ShawneeHills was planted on the hope of bringing the light of the Word of God to the people of the Jamestown area.
ShawneeHills continued to grow through the years and by 1978 the young Church realized the need for their own building.
But the story wend on and ShawneeHills began to grow into a place where the light of God's Word shines clearly and where the greatest story ever told, the story of the Gospel, is proclaimed with joy.
