Our story begins about 17,000 years ago with the creation of the Illinois River by a cataclysmic event known as the Kankakee Torrent. This torrent of water carves out much of the present-day Illinois River valley, fills this new channel, and also fills the former Mississippi River channel left empty 24,000 years ago as a result of glaciation. You’ll see, hear, and read more about the Torrent in a moment when the video begins, and you begin your historical journey along the Illinois River parimatch download app.
