Waukegan Historical Society members are invited to an exclusive private viewing of our newest exhibit “Seasons of Shopping: Waukegan’s Holiday Traditions.” Be among the first to experience the magic and memories before the exhibit opens to the public.

Step back in time and wander through a winder wonderland of nostalgic holiday shopping and seasonal events from the 1940s-1980s. Revisit iconic local retailers that shaped our community, including The Globe, Hein's, Lakehurst Mall, and Belvidere Mall.

This special evening is your chance to tour the exhibit, enjoy light refreshments, meet the curators and connect with fellow history enthusiasts.
