Fabulous work in progress! I learned many aspects of early Oak Park history. I look forward to my next visit. Thank you!

A fun little museum about the history of the community. What a wonderful job they did restoring the fire house! That alone makes it worth the trip but the exhibits are great too.

Great! Good genealogy or realty resource. Knowledgeable staff and excellent exhibits transcending national subjects to the local level. Amazing building too.

Amazing museum of local history. Priceless memories. The curator is very dedicated and knowledgeable.

Amazing history and friendly knowledgeable staff!

Its a very interesting place to visit and the volunteer are good at explaining the different exhibits and the research area is great but its too small for the exhibits. There really isnt a lot of exhibits about African Americans and their families and contributions to Oak Park. Maybe someone should have contacted the Defender Newspaper and asked if they could borrow articles and pictures about black life in Oak Park since that seemed to be the only newspaper that covered African Americans life through out Oak Park, Riverforest and the United States.

Very interesting place to visit. I went there to investigate the people that have lived in my house - friendly staff assisted.

Great little museum of local history. Worth the time.

Really nice place for History of OP, RF & for children to see & explore old items like rotary phones & typewriter!

Quaint and informative. I was surprised there wasnt more about Wright or Hemingway.

Beautiful and fascinating, especially for Oak Park people, but of historical interest to anyone.

Great History of the Area

If you are interested in local history, it is worth a visit

I have always loved county historical societies for the same reason I love this place: it has an eclectic and wonderful collection of things that, as a whole, tell the story of a community. It is in a cool, former firehouse building too.

Great Museum, $5 for residents

Excellent experience in the new facility.

What a little gem jam packed with history

Amazing museum.
