MUSEUMS and ARCHIVE CENTER CLOSED UNTIL MARCH 6th, 2016
Winter brings a time of rest to both Mother Nature and the volunteers and staff of Lakes Region Historical Society, and, with the completion of our annual Holiday Pot Luck Dinner this past Sunday, our facilities are now closed until Saturday, March 6th, 2016.
If you would like to schedule an appointment with Ainsley at the Archive Center, you can call the offices at (847) 395-4912. Please leave a message and someone will return your call to setup a time and confirm the details.
In the meantime, have a safe and wonderful Holiday Season, and a Happy New Year. Celebrate responsibly, and we'll see you in 2016!
NEW CALENDAR NOW ONLINE!
ChicagoNetTech, the ISP who hosts Lakes Region Historical Society's website and e-mail is in the process of making some major updates to our website and services.
This project, which will take a couple of years to complete, will eventually make our entire collection available for viewing online. The first part of the project will include a fully searchable database of our collection of more than 150,000 post cards.
As part of that process, there will be some pretty substantial updates to our website as well. Those changes have already begun with the addition of a new Calendar. To see the new calendar page, just select the Calendar option on the menu above or click here.
The new Lakes Region Historical Calendar will allow us to provide more information about our events, keep the calendar more up-to-date, and provide driving directions to all of our events.
If you have an event you would like to have considered for the LRHS Calendar, please submit a request using our Online Contact Form

PAINT THE MEETING HOUSE |
YOUR GENEROUS DONATION CAN HELP
SHELTER OUR HISTORY FOR YEARS TO COME!
We're working diligently to cut costs and improve our services here at Lakes Region Historical Society and part of that includes some much needed sprucing up and painting.
Our newest project is the Meeting House, located at 977 Main Street in Antioch. The Meeting House desperately requires some elbow grease to remove the old paint and a fresh coat of paint on the exterior of the entire building. If you can help, please consider making a donation to offset the cost of paint and the other materials required to prepare for that job.
Remember, we can accept your donation via Square Payment Systems where we can now accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Please follow-up any donation with a note so we know who you are and can send you a letter of thanks for your contribution.
We would also like to invite you, your family, and your friends, to visit the museum for a private tour in the near future. Please call 847-395-4912 to schedule a tour.
Thank you in advance for any help that you may be able to give. Please send any donation to: Lakes Region Historical Society, 965 Main St., Antioch, IL 60002
Please see the entire list Lakes Region Historical Society activities on our calendar page and then call 847-395-4912 if you have questions or to place your reservation when reservations are required.
