History In Person

Plan to spend the day visiting shops and museums, have lunch at one of our restaurants, and attend all of the fascinating and inspiring performances of the Bishop Hill Chautauqua.

This will be an awesome day filled with inspirational stories and the best performances you'll find in the region. Who will you invite to join you? Jo Lakota, Pam Brown, Katie Knutson, Leslie Goddard and Nicole Simkins are sure to please.

Join us for lunch and a hike this Friday in Springfield. Master Naturalist credit given as you build your interpretation skills.

Join us for an exciting hands-on conference.

It was so fun to get out and celebrate my friend Abraham Lincoln's birthday at two performances this week. I am so looking forward to being in Springfield, at the Old State Capitol, every Friday, all summer, end of May through early August. Thanks Al Harkrader for capturing this range of emotion in an evening of storytelling.
