Museum After Hours: Film Screening

  • Waukegan History Museum at the Carnegie 1 North Sheridan Road Waukegan, IL, 60085 United States (map)

Attend a special screening of “Sharing Our Shore and the Return of the Piping Plover to Waukegan Shores.” Produced and written by Carolyn Lueck, President of Lake County Audubon Society, this a remarkable film about a truly miraculous story. 

Two rare and beautiful piping plovers — Blaze and Pepper — traveled thousands of miles to mate and raise three chicks (Juniper, Sage and Willow). It's even more incredible that Blaze and Pepper raised their family on the Lake Michigan shore in Waukegan just yards from two Superfund sites. Despite all odds — thanks to the heroic efforts of tireless ecologists and Audubon volunteers — they have thrived. Carolyn will introduce the film and take questions. 

Bring your entire family. Tour the special exhibit “Through the Eyes of the Piping Plovers: the Flora, Fauna and People of the Waukegan Shores” as well as the permanent museum exhibits before and after the presentation.
