Highland Park's 150th in 2019: Getting into Gear!

Archivist Nancy Webster will offer ideas how Highland Park residents can make a contribution.

Highland Park ---- The Highland Park Historical Society presents ‘Highland Park’s 150th in 2019: Getting into Gear’ on Wednesday May 30th at 7:00 PM at the Highland Park Library.

Archivist Nancy Webster and HP-150 Archives, History and Lakefront Chair Catherine Lambrecht will offer ideas how Highland Park residents can make a contribution. It can be as personal as an oral history, loan or donation of an object or document. More than trinkets or pretty objets d´art, artifacts can illustrate an era, movements and innovation as lives change in the home, the community, the work place, and en route. We want to gather papers and objects illustrating a keystone event or element that built the Highland Park Community of the 21st century.

'Highland Park’s 150th in 2019: Getting into Gear!' will be at Highland Park Public Library Auditorium, 494 Laurel Avenue, Highland Park, Illinois. For further information, please contact the Highland Park Historical Society: 847.432.7090 or archives@highlandparkhistory.org. Admission is free.
