Illinoisans are innovators.
Spark! Places of Innovation highlights innovation in rural Illinois from the perspectives of people who have lived it. The seven Illinois communities featured in the Spark! exhibition – Including Atlanta, Chatsworth, Equality, Fairbury, Hillsboro, Marshall, and Rushville — have enhanced their vitality through innovations in fields such as technology, agriculture, economic development, education, and the arts. Come by to explore the diversity, ingenuity, and tenacity of rural Illinoisans in Spark! Places of Innovation.
