river taverns/roadhouses?

[wabash river rat]

don't know if anyone out there is familiar with the illinois side of the wabash river, or ever even heard of the wabash. anyway if you have do you know of any old taverns or road or maybe called riverhouses along there? i know that at one time there was a lot of river traffic on it. any history would be greatly appreciated.




Godspeed,
wrr

River Rat not sure of the exact location but there used to be an old tavern/ trading post (mid1800's) at darwins ferry. on the illinois side traded mostly furs and dry goods but you never know!!! Good Luck.
