MPHS Book Club

February 24 @ 7:00 pm

$5

What’s it like to be a historian? We’ll find out at our inaugural Book Club meeting with Emily Dattilo, local author and Director of the Mount Prospect Historical Society. We’ll discuss her new book, “Mount Prospect Historic Sites” and find out about her process for building the Museum’s collection, cataloging and organizing artifacts and data, and creating a story about the first hundred years of our history. What should be included in the collection? What makes an artifact historical? How should citizen historians participate in identifying and appreciating local history? Bring your curiosity to participate in a lively discussion about our Village.
