A new exhibit currently being developed by staff at the West Chicago City Museum is scheduled for installation in time for Blooming Fest on May 21, 2016. Made in West Chicago will document the history of some of the City’s iconic businesses of the past; the Reid Murdoch Pickle Plant, Campbell Soup Mushroom Farm and many others that have been a part of the fabric of the community.
Staff is hoping the community will share their memories and stories to make the historic exhibit more personal and add another dimension to these establishments. Those wishing to contribute their stories should contact the City Museum at (630) 231-3376 or wegohistory@gmail.com.
