We are a student organization at the University of Springfield, Illinois. Join us!
The History Club at UIS provides opportunities for students of history to share our interests with one another and to plan events that support the mission of the History Department, as well as have fun. Past events include guided field trips through the Lincoln Home with Dr. Michael Burlingame, behind-the-scenes visits to local museums, trivia nights, the annual Pizza Meet-and-Greet and End of Year receptions.

In honor of Native American Heritage month, Sangamon Experience recognizes those who once lived on the land we now occupy. Land acknowledgements are statements that recognize and respect the indigenous people and the relationship they have with the land that was originally theirs. Illinois was home to numerous tribes including the Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Sauk, Kaskaskia, Peoria, Miami, Kaw, and many others. Be sure to check out the land acknowledgment that will appear in the Kickapoo exhibit at Sangamon Experience when we open next year!
