Jonas Olson at Jordbruksdagarna

As part of Jordbruksdagarna (Ag Days), at 11 a.m. on Saturday September 28 at the park gazebo, local storyteller and historian Brian “Fox” Ellis will do a first person portray of Jonas Olson. Jonas Olson was one of the leaders of the Bishop Hill Colony. This Chautauqua style program will provide viewers with unique insights about 19th century life in the Bishop Hill Colony. It is free, open to public, and a great way to start Jordbruksdagarna! Sponsored by the BHHA.
