Living History Society Meetings

This society is made up of volunteers and part-time history staff at Midway Village Museum that are interested in learning how to talk about history to visitors and students during special events and school programs.

All meetings will be held on Thursdays between 6 pm – 8 pm. If there is a snow or ice storm the meeting will be cancelled. If you are in doubt, please contact Katie Kelley at 815-397-9112 ext. 106 or e-mail katie.kelley@midwayvillage.com before you plan to attend.
