Spurlock Museum Centennial Celebration

~ 100 Years, Thousands of Memories ~

It’s exciting when a museum and its community can come together in celebration. In July 2011, the Spurlock Museum marks 100 years of life as a cultural resource to the people of Illinois. From cramped quarters in the Lincoln Hall attic to our very own building, it’s been quite a journey—and we’re just getting started!

We invite you to join in on the celebration in a variety of ways:

• Help us plan. Give us your ideas on events and publicity. Suggest an artifact for our commemorative exhibit. Tell us how you’d like to be involved.
• Read a short history of the Museum. Learn about how the Museum got started and how it has grown over the years.
• Share a memory. Tell us about a favorite artifact, event, or Museum visit and read memories written by others.

Information on Centennial events and the special exhibit, entitled "Your Story, Our Story: A World of Collecting and Connecting," will be available starting spring 2010.
