George Harrison's Historic Visit: The Beatles Connection to Benton, Illinois
In September 1963, a slender British musician made a low-key visit to his sister's home in Benton, Illinois. The unassuming trip took place months before the Beatles made their U.S. debut. The house at 113 McCann Street in Benton, Illinois, where George Harrison stayed during his visit, is now up for sale. Some Beatles enthusiasts are concerned that the historic house may be demolished.
