Curator of Collections Siobhan Heraty will introduce the audience to the Des Plaines History Center’s newest exhibit. “Growing up in Des Plaines” explores what it was like to be a school age child in Des Plaines, from the time of the city’s settlement in the 1830s to the turn of the 21st century. The presentation will feature stories of Des Plaines children from days gone by and will focus on the three areas of childhood where children spent most of their time – at home, at play, and at school.
