Third Thursday Gallery Talk at EHM

How have Elmhurst residents shared their memories of love and family over the years? Elmhurst Historical Museum welcomes visitors to explore that theme during an after-hours Third Thursday Gallery Talk on Thursday, February 18, 2016 at 7 p.m.

Presenting the Gallery Talk is Nancy Wilson, curator of collection and keeper of the Elmhurst Historical Museum’s archives. “We have many treasures in our collection that I’ve encountered over the years that have become some of my favorites,” said Wilson, a veteran Elmhurst Historical Museum staff member with a deep knowledge of local history. “This includes beautiful photos, scrapbooks, and other memorabilia that mean so much to Elmhurst residents. They depict how people lived and the love they shared with their families throughout history. I’m very excited to delve into the collection and share these treasures with the community.”

The Third Thursday Gallery Talk takes place at Elmhurst Historical Museum, located at 120 E. Park Ave. in Elmhurst, at 7 p.m. in the second floor gallery. The Museum is open late until 8 p.m. Admission is free. This program is presented in conjunction with the Elmhurst Historical Museum’s ongoing exhibit on Elmhurst history, By All Accounts: The Story of Elmhurst. The exhibit is celebrating its one-year anniversary this month, and has received a number of museum industry awards over the past year.
