CCHS Museum Director Cheryl Ogden will be your guide to nefarious, scandalous tales from Champaign County’s pre-1930s past. She’s dug into the CCHS archives to unearth stories that will intrigue and entertain, and make you question if you ever really knew Champaign County and the people who came before us. She’ll spill the tea on true tales of murder, adultery, robbery and other eyebrow-raising transgressions, while you savor hors d'oeuvres, served with nonalcoholic beverages.
