Ogle County
Polo
Polo is a classic Ogle County crossroads town, its historic downtown square built around the kind of family-run shops and diners that have anchored it for generations. White Pines Forest State Park and Franklin Creek State Natural Area are both a short drive away for an afternoon in the woods.
