In 1989, Dr. Judith Franke proposed to the Dickson Mounds Museum staff to produce an exhibit on the French and the historic Indians of Illinois in conjunction with the Peoria Tricentennial celebration which was to begin in 1991. Her book, French Peoria and the Illinois Country: 1673-1846, grew out of the research for this exhibit.
