Friday, August 18, 2023

Isle a la Cache Museum, 501 E. Romeo Rd.
Fee: Free!
All ages
New France once stretched from the St. Lawrence River of Canada to New Orleans, and within its territory lived a vast population of French colonists almost as diverse as it was strong. The Illinois French, who first arrived in southern Illinois in the late 1600s, witnessed the coming of new borders and the formation of new countries like Canada and the United States. Eventually these French founders would find themselves divided and even isolated, but their culture has remained, still existing after two centuries of isolation in rural pockets along the Wabash and Mississippi rivers in southern Illinois. Illinois Humanities Road Scholar Dennis Stroughmatt will take audiences on a journey of discovery in which they will hear the history of this group’s arrival, the French dialects still spoken and the unique music still performed in the old “Illinois Country.” Perhaps most importantly, through story and song, including a performance of local French “fiddling” on violin and sing-alongs, audiences will have fun learning how the Illinois French serve as a time capsule for their cousins to the north and south — those in Canada and Louisiana. Light snacks will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. You can also BYOB; beer and wine only please. Illinois Humanities is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Illinois General Assembly (through the Illinois Arts Council Agency), as well as by contributions from individuals, foundations and corporations. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed by speakers, program participants or audiences do not necessarily reflect those of the NEH, Illinois Humanities, IACA, our partnering organizations or our funders.
