Oak Park River Forest Museum is open from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month for Night at Your Museum. It’s a fun, casual mid-week “evening out” and a great opportunity to visit the Museum if you can’t come during our regular daytime hours.

The sweet sound of violins will bring OPRF Museum to life on Thursday Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. to kick off Valentine’s Day weekend.

Most people have a piece of family history they like to proudly display in the living room or to pull out from a photo album to share with relatives or friends. These pieces of family history are treasured possessions and often need special handling and care if they are to survive for future generations.

Join us as we welcome journalist and educator Emilie Le Beau Lucchesi to the museum to discuss her book, Ugly Prey: An Innocent Woman and the Death Sentence that Scandalized Jazz Age Chicago.
