Museum to Reopen April 15th by Appointment
Office Hours - Staff Consult!
Do you have questions about how to care for your family keepsakes? Schedule an appointment with a member of the museum staff to bring in your photos, albums, documents or small heirlooms for some free tips and advice about their care and preservation. A key part of our mission is to care for and preserve the Museum’s collections (the village’s keepsakes), and we are happy to share our expertise with the community. Beginning, May 1st, you can call or email the Museum to schedule an appointment, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 1:00 - 4:30 pm.
Take a self-guided walking tour of Historic Downtown Wilmette
Stop by the Museum entrance to pick up the latest in our Neighborhood History Guide series, a self-guided walking tour of Historic Downtown Wilmette. Other historic walking tour brochures in the series - Ridge Road, St. Joseph Cemetery, and the Lakefront - can be downloaded from our website, or you can request a print copy by writing or calling us. As the weather starts to warm up, these free walking tour brochures are a great way to get out for a bit of fresh air, exercise and local history.
