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.
