SUMMARY:Over There and Close to Home: Lake Forest Faces War and Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:A part of our Cornerstones of History lecture series. \nLaurie Stein\, Deputy Director and Head of Curation at the History Center of Lake Forest-Lake Bluff\, takes a close look at the community during the tumultuous years of 1916-1919. With Great Lakes Naval Station to the north and Fort Sheridan to the south\, it is no surprise that the towns of Lake Forest and Lake Bluff were highly active during America’s involvement in World War I. Close on the heels of the war was the 1918 influenza pandemic. This talk also delves into the local response to the “flu\,” drawing on newspaper articles and personal accounts. \nThank You to Our Sponsors! \nVisionary Sponsor – Maude Glore \nPatron Sponsor – Jim Phelps \nFriend of America 250 – Tom and Sally Coyle \nFriend of America 250 – Fred Jackson \nREGISTER
