Do You Have Old Photographs of Downtown Champaign?

The City of Champaign’s 150th Celebration Committee is looking for old photos and artifacts from Downtown Champaign.  If you have any in your personal collection and would be willing to have them scanned please contact T.J. Blakeman with the City of Champaign’s Planning Department at terry.blakeman@ci.champaign.il.us or call (217) 403-8800.

The photographs will be collected and possibly used in the kick off event for Champaign’s 150th Anniversary in March.  The event will feature a three week long historical exhibition on the 4th floor of the Illinois Terminal in Downtown Champaign.  Photos and artifacts from Champaign’s past will be on display thanks for the generous contributions by community members and the Champaign County Historical Museum.

The Committee thanks you for your time and ask that you check back closer to March for more details on our year long celebration!
