Event details
What bird do you think resembles Illinois? How about mushroom? Do you think there’s a fossil that embodies Illinois as a state? We will learn all of this and more about the state icons of Illinois on an interactive hike. After, we will view the vibrant “Winged Ambassadors” exhibit to draw inspiration for our own Illinois state icons art.
