Stumbled across this article . Very nice !! I grew up on the street that ran along the edge of the cornfield and wheat field thats now riverwood trails . I remember getting off the bus when they had the big fire up there and watching all the smoke . Used to have a blast bike riding on other side of howdershell down the old cinder road . Back when the pumphouse and bridge was still there . Wonder how many people remember the old bomb shelter that was back in there . My pop said he thinks he could pretty much point out its location still . There is also the old pavillion an well way back in the woods and there were differant cellars here and there plus an old old log cabin in middle of the woods . Its all gone now . Sad to see how there are nothing but houses and streets now . But this site sure brought back some memories . Thankyou for posting it

My dad, Ron Miller, was a Jesuit here many years ago and this is great to get to see some of the buildings and history.

There’s also some ruins of the old Jesuit retreat in the Stanislaus conservation area. If you park in the new parking area off Charbonier road there are trails that lead back there. Though the trails fork many times if you follow the one that takes you up the hill and along the bluff you’ll lead right to it. First you’ll pass an old foundation of a building, then you’ll come to an old stone bridge with the chains as side rails. Across that there is 2 (if memory serves) foundations that are built into the hill side. A friend and I stumbled on this area probably 15 years ago when we were bike riding back in the woods. It’s a neat area and spooky at night.
