He had seen it many times as a kid, as they drove by. As the story goes….The Owner is Troy Thompson of Princeton Illinois, which isn’t far. I walked around for quite awhile, just looking at everything. This is on the wall in the bar area on the deck. If you run out of money, they also have an ATM machine…. At closing, they just put all merchandise back in the trailer and lock up….Great Idea….Oh….and don’t worry.
Their again, it was an old trailer pulled along side with the side cut out. T Shirts, Sweats, bandana’s, tank tops, koozies, sunglasses, etc. Then we walked to the back side and their was the souvenir clothing. The one with the Slot Machines….Almost every bar has them these days. We walked around the corner and found 1 inside room….Of Course… Many tables and also some old non matching rocking chairs. I was also told that one of the guys from “The American Pickers” also had been their to check them out.

It was decorated with license plates and old things. If you notice the stage is really the side of a trailer cut out still hooked up to an old truck….How cool is that….Then we climber the stairs to the next level… For 2 hours he played and hit every note….Later another band Vice Squad set up in the stage area and played. This was Cody Calkins who really has become locally very popular. The back end of the cab was cut out and a cooler was set in their.Īlso on that level was the stage for the band. We climbed up the first flight of steps…Their was a roof of an old silo and underneath was a bar in an Old Truck…. The building in the background is the new restrooms. Over on the left side was what appeared to be a junk pile….lol…īut I’m sure these are the things that he displays when he finds a place for them. Their is no inside, therefore they obviously close in the winter.Īs we walked up to the bar, their was so much to see. It was only the 2nd weekend they have been open this year. They flagged us through over a bridge and parked in a larger grassy area. Many different decks had been built.Īll around the edges were rusty car bumpers, some doors, and so many different old parts on display.
As we approached, the elevator came into view as it was hidden in the trees. On the way up to the elevator, the owner had placed old cars and vehicles in different places. 6 onto what use to be the Main St. of Langley.
After a fun ride over with music at its peak….lol….lets say a few beers, certainly not the driver, we turned off Rt. Only 6 of us went after all, as it was so cold. Its only about 40 minutes away, so its not far. Scott and Brandy decided to do a party run in their motorhome last sunday and asked us to go. I had wanted to go, but just wasn’t a priority. I had heard about this place just over a year ago. All that stood for years was the elevator with trees, brushes and weeds growing up and over taking the whole area. The town with a few houses had become a ghost town and they were even gone. Built around 1901, it hadn’t operated for years. It was the elevator in Langley next to the tracks. It is bringing in bikers, hot roders, or anyone who wants to spend a relaxing afternoon or evening. It is now a renovated outdoor bar, with entertainment, built with old railroad ties and bridge planks. If your ever crossing Illinois on I80, this is the coolest place to see …”Psyco Silo Saloon”….located in the ghost town of Langley Illinois.
