Description

Discover the fascinating history of Illinois' historic "bearing trees" with guest lecturer Ken Mozinga. Used by early 1800s surveyors as landmarks to establish the state's rectangular grid system, these remarkable trees provide a unique connection to our region's past. Ken has tracked down hundreds of these living landmarks and will share their history, significance, and the stories they continue to tell. (JN)
