May 31–Cahokia Lecture!

If you are going to join us at Cahokia for a tour of the archaeology, a lecture about the writing of PEOPLE OF THE MORNING STAR, and the following book signing, be aware that we will lead a short walk down to Mound 72, leaving the Cahokia Mounds State Park Museum at 1:00 with the lecture starting in the Theater at 2:00.

Access to the site is at exit 6 off the I-55/70 freeway just east of downtown.
