50 years ago the Village of Oak Park chose to start a new chapter.  With the passage of the Fair Housing Ordinance, the community committed to a different path forward. Learn more about the growth and diversity in our communities and how a new Oak Park was created.

Oak Park River Forest Museum is adding evening hours to allow the whole community some extra chances to visit us. Visit us from 7pm to 8:30pm, and see how we glow at night! You will be able to preview our new exhibit Open House: The Legacy of Fair Housing, which opens June 13.
