Images: Icons of Volo

We spent some time in Volo. While the Volo Bog and the Volo Auto Museum draw most of the attention, Volo offers plenty of other sights. The village boasts new housing subdivisions and natural settings that haven't changed in a century.

Look for a new "Icons of ..." town gallery every Sunday at dailyherald.com/galleries and on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. On our social media sites, share your favorite Volo photos with us by using #shareyoursuburb.

And tell us what photos are your favorites. Which ones stir a memory for you? Where do you love to go in town?
