This year’s event marks the Illinois Bicentennial with a focus on historic houses. The panel will address the range of stories that are told at these nearby sites. The conversation will be informed by Frank Vagnone and Deborah Ryan’s book, The Anarchist’s Guide to Historic House Museums (2013). The authors assert that historic houses need to find new ways to reach out to museum visitors. Come learn more about some nearby sites and join in the conversation!
