FREE Children’s Event

Mount Prospect Historical Society
As part of its mission to preserve the history of our town, the Mount Prospect Historical Society has a vast collection of historic artifacts. Most of these items are housed right on the Society’s campus. An interactive program to explore some of these relics is set for Saturday, April 14, from 10 a.m. to noon, at the Mount Prospect Historical Society’s Central School, 103 S. Maple St. This FREE program is open to children in grades three through five.
“This is a fun and unique opportunity to not only get to see, but to use, some of the items in our collection,” said Lindsay Rice, executive director of the Society. “The children will learn what the items were used for in the daily lives of past residents, giving a hands-on peek into the history of Mount Prospect.”
The program is being offered by the Living History Committee of the Society and will feature household and domestic items. There is no fee, but space is limited and registration is required. Walk-ins will be considered on the day of the event only if space is available. For more information or to register, please call the Mount Prospect Historical Society at 847/392-9006.
