CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- Officials in Champaign are gearing up for the community's yearlong 150th anniversary celebration which kicks off later this week.
An exhibit with several historic items will go on display starting Friday. It includes an old financial ledger from Champaign schools, 1893 newspapers, a turn-of-the-century baseball uniform and fire equipment.
The free exhibit runs through April 7 and is at Illinois Terminal.
The items are on loan from the Champaign County Historical Society and private individuals.
Two other events are planned for the sesquicentennial.
They include a street festival in July and a dedication of "Legacy Fountain" in March next year.
