We're Gonna Party Like It's 1818!

Who were the people who founded our State of Illinois 200 years ago? What did they dream about? What did they eat? How did they dress? And, most importantly how did they celebrate becoming the 21st state in the United States of America? Join Ellie while she takes you to a party in 1818. Sample the food, have your silhouette made, dance the dances and hear the music that might have played as all 32,000 of us celebrated statehood.
