Captured Moments, the much-anticipated new photo history of Moultrie County, Illinois may be picked up or purchased at the Moultrie County Heritage Center, 117 E. Harrison in Sullivan during a special distribution day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, April 26; or during the center’s regular hours every Monday and Saturday from noon to 3 p.m.

The book is the first published county history since the 1940s. It features hundreds of photos in color and black and white from the society’s archives and private collections, unpublished stories from the pioneer and Civil War era, and maps of early trails and historic sites in the county.

The book is Moultrie County Historical and Genealogical Society’s commemoration of the 175th anniversary of Moultrie County’s founding in 1843 and the bicentennial of the state of Illinois.

Local historians Pat Wilhelm Cribbet and Janet Shuman Roney are its co-authors.
