Griggsville, Illinois loves purple martins! The invasion began fifty years ago when a local antenna manufacturer decided to go into the purple martin hotel building business. Right there in the midde of Main Street is a 70-foot high, 562 unit, tower. Purple martins. which, shhh, don't actually eat mosquitoes, were everywhere in the purple martin capital of America!
