Come explore and celebrate Chicagoland’s proud industrial history and many of its famous companies like International Harvester, Pullman, Schwinn, Sunbeam, Motorola, and the Elgin National Watch Company, to name a few. Presenter Barbara Barrett will make history “come alive” in a fascinating and entertaining way. Please Register:
