McLEAN COUNTY: THE EARLY DAYS
A new documentary from WTVP.
Premieres: Thursday, December 5, 8:30pm

WTVP continues its long history of locally-produced documentaries with a look at the history of the county with the largest land area in the state of Illinois. McLean County is known as the Buckle of the Cornbelt because of its rich soil. The land traces its origins back to the Ice Age of nearly 20,000 years ago, which left productive soil in its wake.
