Clem and Joanne Donze – presenters
Program Sponsor: Saline Creek Grading
Remember when the river seemed unstoppable? The floods of 1973 and 1993 changed St. Mary and Kaskaskia Island in ways people still talk about today.
Clem and Joanne Donze are here to take you back to those unforgettable days — the rising waters, the surprises, the challenges, and the moments that made neighbors feel more like family than ever. With their stories and rare video footage, you’ll laugh, gasp, and maybe even shed a tear as you experience the floods through the eyes of the people who lived them. It’s a night of history, heart, and hometown spirit you won’t want to miss.
Presentation is free to museum members, otherwise admission will apply
