It’s Offical!
We have a new name!
Glenview History Center
As you can see from the new banner, we're now the Glenview History Center. The plan has been in the works for many months but finally came to fruition at the Glenview Area Historical Society's annual meeting on October 24. By unanimous vote, the membership approved the name change. The change of name more accurately describes our mission of preserving the history of the Village of Glenview by use of both facilities -- the Farmhouse Museum and Hibbard Library. It also is in keeping with a trend in this new century to update names and also to provide opportunities for grant applications. It will, of course, take a while for this new title to become familiar to everyone. Great respect will be maintained for the original Glenview Area Historical Society name; those who worked so hard to found the organization remain in our hearts forever.
The Glenview History Center is a not-for-profit volunteer organization that preserves the cultural heritage of Glenview and its people. The Society maintains two facilities: the 1864 Farmhouse Museum and the modern Hibbard Library, a replica of the Victorian coach house. The museum displays furniture, clothing, pictures, and other memorabilia from the Civil War period to World War II.
The museum is open Sunday afternoons from 1-4 p.m. and the Hibbard Library is open for research on Tuesday from 1-4 p.m. Admission is free; however, donations are encouraged. To find out more about the GHC and Glenview, we invite you to explore the web site.
