MPHS Offers New, Inspirational T-Shirt and Walking Tours

Solicits Personal Pandemic Submissions

Mount Prospect is a caring and resilient community, a fact that has particularly come to the fore during this challenging time in human history.

So, the Mount Prospect Historical Society is introducing a timeless and inspirational t-shirt which proclaims “Mount Prospect Proud – Life is All About Peaks and Valleys” to tout our community’s strength and ability to endure difficult times of all kinds, while waiting for better days to return.

That t-shirt is now available through the Society’s website at mtphist.org.  The shirts come in many sizes and begin at $25. There is also a discount for members. You can purchase it at this link here.

In addition, the Society has introduced four downloadable neighborhood walking tours to entertain those who are increasingly walking and bicycling through town and a website page which encourages resident and other associated with Mount Prospect to submit: essays, photos, videos, poems and so forth about their 2020 experiences. This solicitation effort is being done in partnership with the Mount Prospect Public Library and the Village of Mount Prospect.

    My wife Nancy and I moved to Mount Prospect December, 2019. We really enjoy your Walking Tours of 5 neighborhoods. We would have never known this if it were not for the sign at St. Paul’s cemetery.

      So glad you enjoyed them!! Pass the word to your friends and neighbors about the walks and hopefully, in December, 2021 we will be able to resume our Annual Holiday Housewalk which allows you to tour the interiors of five or six private homes in a designated neighborhood. We have been holding these for over 30 years and they are lots of fun, as well as a necessary fund-raiser for the the MP Historical Society!
