Take a step back in time and into the life of early Illinois residents during the Old Settlers Days in Calhoun County.

Through recreations, demonstrations, and activities, guests are able to experience the workings and happenings of the early Calhoun County settlers.

The weekend event is held on the banks of the Illinois River and features displays of primitive shelters and trade fairs, as well as black-powder shootings, carriage rides and a fiddle contest. It’s a history lesson that kids can enjoy along with pony rides and other activities.

Food and live entertainment are provided throughout the weekend.
