Event Details

The Kickapoo, a fiercely independent people, inhabited this stretch of Central Illinois when the first Euro-American settlers arrived in the early 1820s. This talk from Bill Kemp, McLean County Museum of History Librarian, will include rare 1906 photographs of Kickapoo living in Brown County, Kansas. These photographs were commissioned by Milo Custer, an early curator of the McLean County Historical Society.

Registration is required and space is limited.

Masks will be required for everyone attending this event.
