Peoria Reads: Lincoln Cemetery History

Learn how Lincoln Park went from being the Peoria City Cemetery to the site of the Lincoln Branch Library. Hear the history of the space, including how archaeologists worked to clear land for the addition to the library in 2010.  We will be joined by the Illinois State Museum Curator of Anthropology and NAGPRA Contact to learn about their role in this project and how they are preserving history. Free and open to all and part of our Peoria Reads 2026 programming.

I’m Jose! I am a Senior at Bradley University with a Game Design Major and Film Studies Minor. So obviously, I love video games and movies, but really I love all forms of media and creative art! Outside of that I love listening to music, spending time with my family and friends, my baby brother, and my girlfriend!
