Help support the Elgin History Museum! The online auctions start at 8am on WEDNESDAY, November 10!
Visit elginhistory.org to see the auction listings.While we are not gathering in person for the Museum's annual fundraising gala this year, we wanted to offer something unique in the online auction. The Museum's generous donors have allowed us to offer one-of-a-kind experiences you can enjoy with friends and and family! Take a look: - Wing Mansion - Tour this stately Victorian house (972 W. Highland) with owners Steve Thoren and Maureen McWaid. Marvel at the furnishings and collections, then take a ride in Steve's Model T Ford.
- Toy Story - Walk through the amazing museum bungalow of Dennis and Laurie Roxworthy's vintage toy and bicycle collection. Plus, there are a few full size vintage cars!
- This Old House - Elgin architectural historian Rebecca Hunter digs deep to find out the secrets of your old house. Heritage plaque application included!
- Walk On - Elgin historian Jerry Turnquist will lead a walking tour almost anywhere in Elgin, Illinois! You pick the place and Jerry will walk with you and a group of friends telling stories of the area and pointing out architectural details.
- History Happenings - Focus on Elgin history from a women’s point of view with a program from Linda Rock. Choose from topics such as Elgin American Compacts, artist Jane Peterson, or candy manufacturing in Elgin.
