 The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency has launched social media
accounts to share pictures, announcements, news releases and
anything else related to activities at more than 60 historic sites
and monuments operated by the state of Illinois.The agency can be
found on Twitter under the name @ILhistory. Most tweets will include
the hashtag #ILhistory. Here's a direct link:
http://twitter.com/ilhistory.
The Facebook page is
www.facebook.com/IllinoisHistory.
In addition to news about IHPA sites, the social media accounts
share information about Illinois history from a broad selection of
magazines, blogs and websites. The goal is to give visitors easy
access to Illinois' rich heritage, from Abraham Lincoln to the
Chicago blues to Native American mound-builders.
