Step into local history with a lively talk on pioneer life in LaSalle County—then head outside for canyon walks and river overlooks minutes away.
Event details
Starved Rock isn’t only about waterfalls—it’s also a gateway to the Illinois River Valley’s rich human story. This family-friendly program paints a picture of early pioneer life in LaSalle County, connecting the region’s rugged landscape with the people who settled it.
Pair the presentation with an easy post-program hike: stroll to an overlook, scan the river for eagles, and let kids burn off energy on the trails. It’s a simple way to mix learning with fresh air on the same day.
