Living historian and musician Andy VanDeVoort of Springfield, Illinois, plays the pennywhistle as an apparition of a Civil War Soldier appears to listen from the back wall of the Illinois State Military Museum. The museum, based in Springfield, held its Civil War Encampment on April 22.
The Illinois State Military Museum preserves and educates the public on the history of the Illinois National Guard. It held its Civil War Encampment with the 114th Illinois Volunteer Infantry. The Illinois National Guard turns 300-years-old on May 9. On that date in 1723 the first muster of colonial militia in the Illinois territory occurred in the small village of Kaskaskia in what was then under the French. On May 6, the Illinois National Guard will celebrate its history with multiple events in Illinois' capitol city of Springfield.
