The event will be the sixth program in an ongoing series of presentations about Union County’s bicentennial, which is being observed in 2018.
The presentation will include an overview of the 1818 map showing roads, taverns, land occupants up to and including November and December 1818, what the county was like when Illinois was admitted into the union.
The session will bring to a close the 1818 history of Union County as documented in a number of historical artifacts, such as land records, maps, books and court records.
