The name Glen Echo has a history in the family. Our great-grandfather, Henry William Schoenekase, owned and operated the Glen Echo Dairy outside of Quincy, Illinois, beginning in 1924. Henry’s father Hermann had been born in the Kingdom of Hanover, Germany, and had come to America in 1870 by himself at the age of 17. Ironically, the German name of Schönekäß translates into “beautiful cheese.”
