The Columbia Hotel of Streator built a small dancing pavilion and beer garden called Columbia Park in the woods near the depot. During a large party, a violent storm hit with lightning killing a man and destroying the park.[5] Also noted for an amateur hypnotist accidentally sending a family to sleep in 1902.[6]
