Thomas Hutchins’ Map

Community Conversations | History Belongs to All of Us

In this Community Conversation we will meet to discuss Thomas Hutchins’ 1778 map, and to consider the author, purpose, point of view, values, and spatial techniques that contribute to a map’s meaning.
Bring your curiosity, your opinions, and your appetite, because The Bread Basket is bringing the snacks! 
Community Conversations: History Belongs to All of Us, is a free, facilitated program series brought to you by The Hub – Arts & Cultural Center in partnership with Illinois Humanities! This series commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States through the lens of the history of Illinois. Its emphasis is on the joy of investigating history in its rawest form: the primary document and the artifact.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a conversation. Come ready to listen, share, and see history in a whole new way.

This event is free and open to the public. You do not need to be a historian to participate (but you totally can be), and no pre-work is necessary to attend. This event is recommended for participants middle school age or older.

Facilitators | Moe Billingsley & Xochi Anderson

Date & Time | Sunday, June 28th, from 2 – 4 p.m.

Save the Date for the last of the series: July 19, 2026 at 2 p.m.
