he Museum of the Grand Prairie is hosting a special event this Sunday to provide visitors with an opportunity to immerse themselves in Civil War stories.

Visitors can learn more about the soldiers — some of which were from Champaign County — while they interact with artifacts from the Civil War era, learning about their historical context.

The event, titled Relics and Revelations: Civil War Stories, is from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday and is free for all, but recommended for ages 12 and up.

Anyone interested in the event can reach out for more information at 217-586-2612 or jbien@ccfpd.org, or by checking out the museum’s website here.
