Open through May of 2026 In Flight features the watercolors of artist Peggy Macnamara. The exhibition focuses on one of her favorite subjects—birds—especially those found in central Illinois. These artworks support the museum’s mission to help people understand and connect with the environment in our region.
Explore the character of the Illinois River and trace the interaction between the river and the people who lived along it from the end of the Ice Age to the present day.
The excavated remains of three early Indigenous buildings are preserved for viewing during the warmer months. The structures are a round building, a cross-shaped building, and a large rectangular building.
