The childhood home of one of Peoria's most famous residents is for sale
PEORIA – Terri Sheets felt like it was meant to be when she saw the childhood home of feminist crusader Betty Friedan was for sale in the summer of 2023. “We had been looking for homes for quite a while and nothing was a good fit, then 1011 N. Farmington Road popped up. I love that part of town, and when I saw the Betty Friedan tie-in, it was a no brainer," said Terri Sheets, who moved there with her husband, Bill. “Bill and I moved from Austin, Texas, and were huge political activists. We marched at the capitol on many occasions, fighting for teachers’ rights, women's productive rights... I became an organizer for healthcare rights and held many meetings at my home... We even had our photo as the main photo on the Obamacare website for a while.”
