Event Details

Come celebrate the 125th anniversary of Fell Park.  Walk through the park while learning about the early history of the Town of Normal, Jesse Fell, and the formation and evolution of Fell Park.

The History Walk will be up September 15th to September 30th.  

The Town of Normal is planning a celebration from 11 am–4 pm on Sunday, September 17 with a farmers' market. This was Jesse Fell's original vision for that land. The Town’s farmers' market will have food, a kids’ zone, live music, and historical exhibits to celebrate the park's history.
