HANOVER, Ill. â The Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation has received a grant for a feasibility study for a discovery center at the Wapello Land and Water Reserve in Hanover to highlight the unique history and culture of the area. The grant to study creating the Wapello Discovery Center came from the Freeport Community Foundation, according to a press release. âA vision of the Friends of Wapello volunteer group since its founding in 2008, the Discovery Center will tell the story of the Native American peoples who trace their ancestry to this region through their own stories and oral histories, not through interpretations by outside cultures,â the release states. âIndoor exhibits and experiences out on the land will also focus on the vibrancy of present-day Native American communities, the struggles they face and how the natural world remains so deeply intertwined with their cultures.â
