Main Exhibit
The main exhibit is the culmination of a decade of planning and community conversations. The narratives here reflect the ceaseless commitment of the staff and the board to assist the ever-changing needs of the public, and work to develop relevant, community-focused stories that deliver quality educational experiences to the public.
The Hunter Family Education Hall
The education hall highlights people, places and events that tell the stories of American community-building, from Paleoindians to the newest residents and visitors of Lake Forest and Lake Bluff.
With a stated goal to create local and regional history narratives that are inclusive and expansive, the History Center staff works to capture the stories of all the people who have come to and through this area.
