News and Events
 
Journey Stories- tales of how we and our ancestors came to America - are a central element of our personal heritage. From Native Americans to new American citizens and regardless of our ethnic or racial background, everyone has a story to tell. Our history is filled with stories of people leaving behind everything - families and possessions - to reach a new life in another state, across the continent, or even across an ocean.
The Buchanan Center for the Arts and the Warren County Library proudly presents Journey Stories, a Museum on Main Street Exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution and the Illinois Humanities Council.
Journey Stories will be on display January 30, 2010 - March 14, 2010.

Knowledge is Power
A “Kill a Watt EZ” power meter is now available to check out. The power meter measures the amount of electricity needed to operate your appliances. Along with the meter is an informational brochure containing detailed information on reducing electric usage. Meters can be checked out for up to one week.
Meters donated by the Ameren Illinois Utilities’ WATT solutions program and P. Joan Larsen.
