The Hogeye Stagecoach, Local Lore, and Elgin History with Karen Bernstein


Welcome back to another episode of Hey Elgin!! This week, Tony, Ben, and Boston Nick are stepping back in time with Media Producer, Director, and Editor, Karen Bernstein.
After trading New York for Elgin in 2018, Karen quickly embedded herself in the civic heartbeat of the town, bringing her extensive documentary expertise to the Elgin Oral History Project. We sit down to dive deep into the rich history, local legends, and lore that built our community. From the early days of Perryville and the dust of the Hogeye stagecoach to the influential leaders who shaped Elgin into what it is today, nothing is off the table.
Of course, it wouldn't be a proper episode if things didn't get a little weird at the end. Boston Nick takes the wheel to steer the conversation into the unknown and spooky side of Elgin's history, wrapping it all up with some classic music talk.
Tune in for a fascinating ride through the past, present, and paranormal!
