Join us as we go deeper into Belleville's haunted past with the fifth spine-tingling edition of our Haunted Belleville Walking Tour! This year, we’ll return to the Old Belleville Historic District. Ask anyone who‘s attended before—this is not to be missed! Unless, of course, you're scared of things that go "bump" in the night...

The migration pattern of Monarch butterflies along Route 66 through Sangamon County and a new site to promote the road’s rich history will be the topics of the Sangamon County Historical Society program at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, September 20 at the new Route 66 Experience complex on the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The event is free and open to the public.
