Relive the True Mother Road: The Edwards Trace - Lecture with Anna Sielaff

Anna Sielaff discusses the critical route of The Edwards Trace.

"The Edwards Trace is an ancient trail that dates back at least 3,000 years that went through Illinois marking the migratory path of various animal herds starting in Kaskaskia, Illinois to Peoria, Illinois. Native Americans used this trail to track the seasonal migrations of herds." Portions of this trail remain visible even today.

I'll be in the lobby until seating at 1:45 p.m. in the theater. Allow time to walk from the parking lot to the Interpretive Center.
