CAGGNI will hold their next Zoom meeting on Saturday, October 16th at 10:30am. Michelle Wilson and Rommy Lopat will present, "Settling Northern Illinois: Richmond's Pioneer William A. McConnell."

William McConnell was Richmond's first settler when he arrived in 1837. This is the story of how northern Illinois developed and how we researched McConnell's life to create the 200 page coffee-table-style book "Montelona Farm" about McConnell, Richmond, and the settlement of northern Illinois.
