Ten People from IL Who Changed History

You probably know Abraham Lincoln lived part of his life in Illinois, but did you know that Walt Disney, Betty Freidan and Charles Walgreen also called the Prairie State home?  Join historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D. for this illustrated lecture commemorating the state’s 2018 bicentennial.  We’ll look at ten intriguing people from Illinois, including heads of state, newsmakers, inventors, and others.  They are all from Illinois, and they all changed the world! Light refreshments served, and the museum will be open following the presentation. The event is free; donations appreciated.  Please call 630-969-8080 to reserve your seat.   Suggested donation of $5.
