Stories'n Stones: Cahokia's Woodhenge

Marilyn and Larry Kinsella return to the Fuller Dome on Saturday, July 24th at 7PM to share stories and ancient tools relating to the creation of Woodhenge at the Cahokia Mounds historic site near Collinsville Illinois. Woodhenge is an ancient solar calendar comprised of a large circle of cedar poles that were likely used to site Solstice and Equinox alignments.

Larry Kinsella is an ancient tool expert and he worked on the reconstruction of Woodhenge. He will talk about the stone tools he made and used to keep the reconstruction of Woodhenge as near to genuine as possible. Marilyn Kinsella is a gifted and renowned storyteller who will be sharing stories relevant to Woodhenge's theme of capturing the light and fire of the sun. We hope to see you in the dome on Saturday, July 24th for this exciting event. The Fuller Dome is located on the SIUE campus, just off of Circle Drive, next to Visitor Parking Lot B.
