WHS Annual Gala: The People's Party at the Historic Lloyd House

Join us for the Winnetka Historical Society's 2013 Gala!  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Wayside, the privately owned National Historic Register Landmark once the home of Henry Demarest Lloyd, famous muckraker journalist and his wife, Chicago Tribune heiress Jessie Bross Lloyd.  Eat, drink and enjoy live Jazz music in the historic dining room that hosted Jane Addams, Booker T. Washington, Clarence Darrow, an exiled Russian princess and exhausted factory workers.  Pitch some horseshoes in the magnificent garden, explore the house, and take a look at the remnants of the Lloyd Prohibition-era still! 


 If you did not receive your invitation in the mail, contact the Winnetka Historical Society at winnetka411@comcast.net or 847-446-0001.  Hope to see you there.
