You've heard of comic cons, get ready for Keo-Con: a local history symposium!
This two day event will highlight speakers on a variety of local history topics and will include a keynote address by Michael Ross, author of "Justice of Shattered Dreams: Samuel Freeman Miller and the Supreme Court during the Civil War Era."
Local collectors will be on hand to share their unique and history-rich collections.
Antiques dealers will also be present to help you find that historical piece you can't live without.
Food trucks will be in the parking lot both days featuring a variety of local options.
Two day tickets will be available for $40 each, or if you can only make it for one day, single day passes are available for $20. Kids 12 and under are free. Tickets will be available at the door. Doors open at 5 on Friday with the first presentation beginning at 6. On Saturday, doors open at 8 with the first presentation beginning at 9.
There's so much to see and learn about our local history - join us for this inaugural event. Visit keokukhistory.org/keo-con2025 for additional information or to register as a vendor or collector.
