The Champaign County Historical Archives will be at the Urbana Free Library's table at the Market at the Square on the third Saturday of each month, beginning tomorrow (June 21). Stop by to view historical documents and artifacts, grab a brochure, and take a look at some of the books that feature a variety of items from our collection. We hope to see you there!
The above photograph taken in 1949 shows the library's landmark Samuel T. Busey building. Mary Busey donated the funds to construct the building in 1917 in memory of her late husband, General Samuel T. Busey. General Busey was a well known Urbana businessman and pioneer.
