This cooperative project by the Illinois State Museum, the Meredosia River Museum, and the Havana Public Library District provides an interactive look into the cultural and economic lives of the people who lived in the central Illinois River region between 1875 and 1950. All three sections of the site - Harvesting, Transportation, and History - are worth scouting. Under Harvesting, readers will find photographs and explanations of how local residents harvested ice, fish, mussels, and waterfowl from the river. The Transportation section includes insights into local experiences of different kinds of boats, roads, and railroads. Meanwhile, the History section provides enlightening narratives about the river and nearby settlements, including first-hand accounts of life in the region.
