Join the History Center this month to learn about architecture in the Des Plaines area! Learn about how buildings can hold so much weight, and put your architectural skills to the test with our tower building challenge!

This program is free of charge due to the generosity of the Kiwanis Club of Des Plaines. Donations are appreciated. The Des Plaines History Center is located at 781 Pearson Street, Des Plaines IL 60016. Hands-On History is a monthly children’s program series meant to invite public participation and interaction with a broad range of historical topics per the History Center’s mission. Join us in February for our next set of Hands-on History events: “Art Exploration: The Harlem Renaissance.”
