that is very sad to know. my family came to Illinois from Howard in 1846. And i always wanted to buy land their to see some of my roots. I bought land in Maine near Houlton. Because my brother lives their but the deer hunting is not great.
But the land is dirt cheap compared to Illinois were i reside. About 150 to 200 dollars a acre in Maine northern part.
$150-$200 per acre. OMG Im moving there!!! The farther you get from State College the prices go down some but not a ton. You are looking at thousands of dollars per acre here. It really is sick what they are getting for plots of land, and BAD land at that. The Howard area would be some cheaper but not a ton. But there is some nice places around there.
