Historical re-enactors portray Black Jack Logan, H. Tubman // Native American dancers (Kahok dancers of Collinsville, IL) -- September 5, 2015 at Greenville, IL

Greenville's Bicentennial celebration on September 5 and 6 will feature a variety of activities and performances for historians of all ages.
Two of Illinois' most respected historic re-enactors---Kathryn Harris and Brian "Fox" Ellis---will perform Saturday, September 5, 2015 on the south grounds of the Bond County Courthouse. Both programs are free.
Brian "Fox" Ellis has toured the world over the past 35 years playing dozens of famous names from American history. Ellis will actually be in Greenville the day prior to the Bicentennial celebration to perform a program on Abraham Lincoln at local schools. On Saturday, September 5 he will perform as Black Jack Logan, a Civil War hero and U.S. Senator from Illinois who was a key figure in Memorial Day becoming a national holiday. The program is at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
Kathryn Harris, who recently retired as Library Services Director at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, will portray Harriet Tubman, legendary Underground Railroad conductor, at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Harris' program on Ms. Tubman is a nod to the efforts of abolitionists in Greenville and Bond County prior to the Civil War.
When Greenville was founded on the bluff overlooking Shoal Creek in 1815 by George Davidson, Native American Indians resided in the county. The Bicentennial will celebrate this heritage with free performances at 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. September 5 on the courthouse grounds by the Kahok Dancers. Based in Collinsville, this interpretive dance group specializes in Native American story dancing. They often perform at the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site.
