Those who prefer to join us virtually can tune in through Zoom (info below). Copies of the book are available to check out at the library.

Through story, song, and “Creole fiddle,” Dennis Stroughmatt takes you on a journey of discovery through the history of French colonists on this continent, the French dialects their ancestors still speak, and the unique music they still perform. The French of “The Illinois Country” serve almost as a time capsule for their cousins to the north and south, and with a dash of Cajun and a pinch of Quebecois, this program will show how Illinois Creole culture bridges the continental expanse from Canada to Louisiana. 


This event is produced in partnership with Illinois Humanities Road Scholars Speakers Bureau.
