Carol Summerfield Executive Director of the Lake Forest Lake Bluff History Center stopped by to give Pete the info on her opening night for the Map Stories Exhibit

This exhibition provides an exciting and rare opportunity to see 19th and 20th century maps from their extensive collection--from hand-drawn maps of the early village to road maps for that new fangled automobile. Stop by for a chance to see the history of our community through a different vantage point.

This will be the first event at the museum in over a year, and they will have complimentary drinks and light hors d'oeuvres to enjoy before or after viewing the exhibit. Face coverings will still be required inside the building, but not outside!"
