About Olney, IL

Olney is known for its population of white squirrels. There are two hypotheses about how there came to be white squirrels in Olney. The first is that in 1902 William Stroup was out hunting and shot a gray female squirrel. The shot knocked the two babies out of a nest, and he brought them home to his children. They were later sold to Jasper Banks, who put them on display in front of his saloon.
