The Fox Valley Has a Rich History.

They came from far away to settle the Fox River Valley where I am proud to call home in Sandwich, Illinois as the owner of Bee Plumbing. My name is Scott Swanson. This time of year, as we come back from the most challenging time in our memory, it is perhaps, appropriate that we look back on our history and look with optimism to our future.

Way back in 1833, Cleng Peerson with two companions set out on foot to explore the great west and ended up starting a new colony…The Fox River Colony. Peerson is said to have walked 2,000 miles in this quest to find the perfect home! Peerson left from the first settlement at Kendall, New York and is reported to have walked through Michigan, finally reaching Chicago, which was then a village of about 20 huts.

It is amazing to think of Chicago being so small. What is wonderful for all of us is that we live in the beautiful Fox Valley. I hope that you will take advantage of any and all of the holiday activities around Chicagoland. If you need plumbing services in 2022 just google this address bee-plumbinginc.com.
