Upcoming Events & Exhibits
2025 Annual Dinner
Join the Lincoln Park Historical Society for our annual dinner— a Roaring Twenties dinner dance to celebrate the City of Lincoln Park’s centennial birthday!
Vintage Printing Press Demonstration
Our vintage printing press will be in operation and demonstration mode as part of the "Centennial Pastimes" being scheduled in this year of Lincoln Park's 100th birthday.
Member Garry Summers will be on hand to run the press as we welcome members who would like to see the vintage machine in operation, and invite you to bring printers blocks if you might have any to print out on paper stock.
Lincoln Park Centennial Quilt Meeting
On Wednesday February 19th following the Historical Society Board meeting, there will be a first meeting for the Lincoln Park Centennial Quilt program to help celebrate the Centennial of our city this year (1925-2025). If you are a quilter or otherwise have an interest or an idea, we hope you can plan to join us then – the meeting is at the museum on Wednesday, February 19th at 4:30 p.m.
