Twelve historic places from the Prairie
State's vast array of landmarks are highlighted in the 2005 Historic
Illinois calendar, which is now on sale. The calendar, produced by
the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, features 12 full-color
photographs of historic sites in Illinois, all taken by
architectural photographer Nels Akerlund of Rockford. The
13-by-10-inch calendar is designed to provide space to record
birthdays, appointments and upcoming events. The design rivals that
found in bookstores for nearly twice the price.
The calendars are $7 each or just $5
each if you order five or more. You may order the calendars by
sending a check or money order, payable to the Illinois Historic
Preservation Agency, to Historic Illinois Calendar, Illinois
Historic Preservation Agency, 1 Old State Capitol Plaza,
Springfield, IL 62701-1507. For more information, call (217)
524-6045.
