The Winnetka Historical Society
will open its new exhibit, The Adventurers: Winnetka’s Untold Tales of Travel, 1899-1927 on March 9, 2014 from 1-4pm. The exhibit features five swashbuckling expeditions of Winnetkans motivated by humanitarian needs, business interests, artistic inspiration and intellectual curiosity.
Taken in the first quarter of the 20th century, these journeys were unique in an America where most people lived and died within 20 miles of where they were born. Come see the objects, photos and costumes that tell their stories and sample some international refreshments. The exhibit will be open to the public through June of 2015.
