Kane was founded in 1864 by Civil War General Thomas L. Kane.
Kane has 4 buildings in the national historic register:
Thomas L. Kane Memorial Chapel (1978), built 1876-1878
New Thomson Building (1984), built 1907
Kane Manor Inn (1986), built 1896
Kane Armory (1991), built 1922
Before embarking on a day of pampering and relaxation, we highly recommend booking a room at the historic and newly renovated Kane Manor Inn. They serve a nice breakfast daily from 7:30-9:00 AM, and this will also allow you to have a private and quiet place to rest your feet or freshen up at any time.
Begin the day at Drift with an hour-long float (ask your Dr.) or Reiki session. This will ensure that you start off your day nice and relaxed. Remember to eat a small snack or breakfast before your session.
Tomorrow (Saturday, 11/28) starts Kane Business BINGO! We have 24 businesses and 1 FREE space that makes up a BINGO card. Here’s how it works:
Shop Small Saturday is on November 28th and the Kane Chamber of Commerce is planning a few things to kick off the holiday shopping season that day. First, though, I want to remind you how crucial it is to shop locally, now more than ever. A few quick reasons why:
*LONG POST ALERT! There’s just so much great information we want you to know about the town branding project!*
The Kane Chamber of Commerce, which is part of the Kane Area Development Center (KADC), is coordinating an effort to create a town brand. The brand will bring a unified and consistent look to marketing and communication pieces used to promote Kane, town wayfinding signage and the Kane website. To get input from as many people as possible, the KADC is asking the Kane community, alumni, visitors and regional neighbors to complete the Kane Identity Survey by October 5, 2020.
Take the survey now by clicking here!
A brand can be hard to define and to come up with, so the Kane Chamber is consulting with Ben Muldrow from Arnett, Muldrow & Associates. Ben’s firm has worked with over 500 communities in 40 states to help with projects like this.
With more businesses closing due to the government mandate, we want to be sure you know what local businesses are open so you can support them as you get what you need. I did my best to capture everyone so if there is an open business I missed I apologize- just let me know and I’ll update this list.

The businesses listed below are ones you can currently walk into to purchase needed items. There are still business providing services, like garbage pick up, as well as some businesses who have had to shut their doors and work from home. Please contact those businesses directly to learn if they are open and how they are making accommodations.
On March 16th we learned that restaurants are not able to have diners come in to sit and eat in order to take preventive measures against COVID-19. So, our resourceful business owners have made changes to how they will provide you with their delicious food and drinks.
Below are the hours and service information of Kane area restaurants as of March 17, 2020. Everything is subject to change as time goes on, so please find each business on Facebook, LIKE their page and stay up-to-date on the most current information. I have linked the business name to their Facebook page to make it really easy for you to find- just click on the business and you’ll be taken to their page!
There are some places who serve food that are still working out the details of how they will continue to provide their products. They are listed with the link to their Facebook page so you can remember to check back on them.
