On May 22, we filmed segments of the Memorial Day Ceremony that you will see here. Despite safety restrictions during the pandemic, Tiskilwa Historical Society didn't want this solemn day of remembrance to pass without honoring all soldiers who died in service to our country.

Beginning Sunday evening, May 30, Tiskilwa’s Memorial Day Ceremony will be available online, hosted by Navy veteran, Jennifer Fisher.

This year, the Illinois Valley Quilts of Valor is teaming up with the host organization, Tiskilwa Historical Society, to continue the village’s longstanding tradition of honoring veterans on Memorial Day.
