Sophisticated exhibits tell region’s story Sunday marks the
grand opening for two new exhibits at the Dixon Historic Center
that detail the lives of Native Americans and early settlers. We
encourage the public to attend. The Black Hawk War in 1832 was a
watershed event for the Sauk Valley region. Before the war, the
Sauk tribe inhabited much of northern Illinois, including this
area. Settlers were few and far between. After the war, the
decimated Sauk were banished from Illinois and forced to move
westward. Settlers began to flood the region. If you have any
