SUMMARY:CCA President/CEO Speaks At Lemont Library
DESCRIPTION:This year the I&M Canal celebrates its 175th anniversary and Lemont\, its 150th.

In particular\, she’ll discuss plans for the I&M Canal National Heritage Area and how you can become involved as a steward helping to ensure its continued survival for the benefit of future generations. \nSeats are limited – Register Here!

SUMMARY:Reclaiming the Narrative
DESCRIPTION:Now on display in the Gaylord Building’s first-floor gallery\n through July 14th! \n\nAfrican Americans called the Joliet region home before its incorporation in 1852. They have built up the community\, found jobs\, and enjoyed life in the Des Plaines River Valley.\n\nIn spite of this long history\, the Black community has often been on the periphery of historical narratives.  As a way to increase the scope of history\, this exhibit highlights four African American organizations that contribute to the region’s diversity.\n\nThe scope of this grant-funded initiative included a traveling banner exhibit and public programs. These banners are currently on display in the Gaylord Building’s first-floor gallery.\n\nThey can also be viewed online at the Lewis University History Center.\n\nThe Lewis University History Center partnered with Second Baptist Church\, Mount Zion Baptist Church\, The National Hook-up of Black Women Joliet Inc.\, and Warren-Sharpe Community Center on this project\, which focused on regional historical collections and allowed them to broaden their scope and facilitate the stories of historically marginalized peoples. In turn\, this served to broaden the scope of the collection of the Adelmann Regional History Collection (ARHC) at Lewis University.\n

SUMMARY:CabinFest
DESCRIPTION:Learn and celebrate life on the Prairie in the 1800s at the Cragg Cabin that served as the county’s first tavern\, polling place\, and post office. Travelers were treated with courtesies and comforts of a frontier inn. Stage coach passengers and drovers moving cattle to Chicago stock yards over the Overland Trail which ran from Bloomington to Chicago often were treated as guests. It is thought that the cabin may have even been part of the Underground Railway (from 1831 to 1863). It was said hundreds of slaves found shelter under its roof on their way to freedom in the North. \nEvery year\, the first Saturday of June\, The Prairie Partners call on Partners and friends to help with the Cabin Festival celebrating a simpler time on the prairie. The group lectures to class visits and groups about life on the prairie in the 1800s. \n
