Wilbert Stroeve of the Chicago Map Society will compare a 1905 guide used to navigate from Chicago to Lake Geneva and Beloit with photos of the same scenes a century later.
The book shows a Chicago region that has been transformed — and even more remarkable, a few scenes that have remained unchanged. Whether you want to journey from Chicago to Lake Geneva, or just travel through time, you’ll enjoy the trip!
In partnership with the Libertyville Historical Society.
The Cook Memorial Public Library District serves communities in northern Lake County, Illinois: Libertyville, Green Oaks, Vernon Hills, Indian Creek, Mettawa, and parts of Mundelein.
