Thanks to everyone who attended our Welcome to the Prairie event this past weekend! Nearly 200 visitors took part in engaging hands-on activities & demonstrations helping bring parts of 19th century central Illinois history to life!

A special thank you to all of the staff & volunteers who helped put the event on and the New American Welcome Center at the University YMCA for helping us organize the event as part of #WelcomeWeek2022
