Bounded by several of the most important rivers on this continent and one of the Great Lakes, Illinois has been influenced profoundly by water throughout its history.

A new Museum on Main Street exhibition, Water/Ways, will invite Illinoisans to consider the monumental significance of water in the human experience when it visits six communities, including Valmeyer.

A special kick-off concert will take place on Sunday, October 16, 2016.

Exhibition hours and other related events to follow.
