"People Saving Places: Stories About the Importance of Place"
Landmarks Illinois' new video project will premiere at a screening event Friday, April 21!
Just two weeks before Landmarks Illinois premieres the eight, short videos of people saving places around the state, produced in partnership with Kennedy-King College's Media Communications Department! The "People Saving Places" video project is
made possible through generous funding from Illinois Humanities and The Richard and Julia Moe Fund for Statewide and Local Partners, a fund of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Over the last few months, Landmarks Illinois staff and Kennedy-King College interns have traveled around Illinois to capture on film the inspiring stories of people dedicated to historic preservation. These stories show how people are leveraging historic preservation to boost economic development, attract cultural heritage tourism and increase pride of place.
The screening event on Friday, April 21, will showcase all eight videos created by the Kennedy-King students. The screening event includes a discussion with the students on their travel experiences around the state to capture these inspiring stories. A reception at the nearby The Lone Buffalo in Ottawa will immediately follow the screening. Reception registration includes appetizers and two drink tickets.
Space for the reception is limited. Secure your spot today!
