Les Amis du Fort de Chartres was recently awarded a $5000 grant from IL Humanities, an award that means so much to our organization and in turn, to our community-as tourism to our site and our area has struggled in the absence of the Fort’s annual special events. With this award, we can help bring back vital events that breathe life into our local and regional centuries-old history and the communities that depend on our joint efforts/partnerships to survive and thrive. Thank you to Illinois Humanities* for this much needed and appreciated grant award. We are excited to partner with them to help present special events in 2021-2022.
