Mokena's first modern subdivision has a name that goes back to the early days of our Village.  The Mineral Springs neighborhood sits just south of the train station and at one point was the source of healing waters that were being pumped from below ground. This healing well was so popular that it eventually ran a pipeline closer to the tracks to be able to fill tanker cars directly. 
Matt shares the story of the first time it was sold by an early Mokenian and also shares of the transformation from "truck farm" to Mokena's first modern subdivision, that was built post World War 2.
