Do you have Native American artifacts that you want to learn more about? The Madison County Historical Society (MCHS) and the Cahokia Archaeological Society (CAS) are hosting an Artifact Identification Day on Saturday, May 2, from 1-4 p.m. at Immanuel United Methodist Church, 800 N. Main Street, in Edwardsville, Illinois. The event is in the lower-level Community Room on the south side of the church.
The afternoon will begin at 1 p.m. with a brief program by Dr. Erin Benson of the Illinois State Archaeological Survey. Following the program, attendees can approach one of five professional archaeologists on hand to identify what artifacts are, what they were used for, and an approximate time-period. In addition to archaeologists provided by CAS and MCHS, there will also be an archaeologist from the Illinois State Archaeological Survey. The archaeologists will not provide monetary values and this is not a sale or trading event.
Enjoy live entertainment by Sheafor & Simes, stroll our newly paved trail during a signature cocktail walk, and enjoy a hayride with our camp rangers to explore the grounds. Appetizers and drinks will also be served.
The event is free to attend. Please RSVP by May 4.

The Madison County Historical Society will host another Literary Salon on Thursday, May 14, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of Immanuel United Methodist Church at 800 N. Main Street in Edwardsville, Illinois. The Community Room is on the lower level with entry on the south side of the building.
The topic for this event, “Illinois Poets,” will include the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and biographer Carl Sandburg who was often called the “poet of the people.” Emeritus Professor Jeffrey Skoblow, who organized two previous Literary Salons for MCHS, reaches out to friends, as well as students attending SIUE and Edwardsville High School to recruit a group of poetry readers who are enthusiastic about the works they present. Both previous events were well attended with appreciative audiences.
The MCHS Literary Salons are offered at no charge to the public, although donations are always welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
