Illinois Archaeology: The Deep Roots of the Prairie State in Waukegan

Discover 12,500 years of Illinois history through archaeological evidence that reveals how people lived, adapted and thrived across the Prairie State. This traveling exhibit from the Illinois State Archaeological Survey explores the impact of climate change, technological innovation and cultural interaction on generations of Illinois residents, from the state's earliest inhabitants to the arrival of European settlers. Through artifacts, graphics, and engaging displays, visitors will uncover the stories of the people who shaped Illinois long before modern communities emerged.
