    Illinois National Guard to Celebrate 300th Birthday on May 6 in Springfield

    Living historian and musician Andy VanDeVoort of Springfield, Illinois, sings Amazing Grace as part of the Illinois State Military Museum's Civil War Encampment on April 22 at the museum in Springfield.
    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.
