Tokens of Another Time

While traveling was not as easy as it is today, the early residents of Buffalo Grove did travel to local fairs, Chicago, and even farther! Along the way, they picked up souvenirs to remember the place they visited or exciting events they attended. These souvenirs were kept safe for many years and sometimes passed down as heirlooms. This exhibit explores some of the mementos picked up from around the world and right around the corner.
