Historical Society of Oak Park-River Forest Review

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.

It's a very interesting place to visit and the volunteer are good at explaining the different exhibits and the research area is great but it's too small for the exhibits. There really isn't 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.

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

Quaint and informative. I was surprised there wasn't more about Wright or Hemingway.

Great little museum of local history. Worth the time.

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

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

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.
