These trees from Murphysboro, Illinois represent one of the oldest Museum exhibitions. They were exhibited in the Centennial Building beginning in 1925 and were moved to the current Illinois State Museum building when it opened in 1963. The exhibit was removed when the new Changes natural history exhibition was created. The display continues in the Museum lobby through June 30.
My family lived through this tornado. I hope the trees will be on display again in the future.
