The village of Tiskilwa recently received recognition as a project winner for the 2020 Governor’s Hometown Award. On behalf of all volunteers of the community, the Tiskilwa Historical Society entered details of a project of transforming the former legion hall into the Gallery on Galena.

The Tiskilwa Historical Society will honor veterans with a free performance of “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh” by singer and storyteller Barry Cloyd at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 17, at the Museum on Main.

Cloyd’s show combines music and storytelling to depict the Civil War through the eyes of a young drummer boy, celebrating the courage and sacrifice of veterans past and present.

Before the program, visitors can view a military uniform and memorabilia exhibit at the Gallery on Galena, 550 N. Galena St., from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

The event is sponsored by Braided Creek Wind and open to the public. More information is available at tiskilwahistory.org.
