Park Forest Memories

A collection of memories sent to us from past and present Park Forest residents to share

The 1950s Museum is in GroupTour eMagazine, Spring 2013 issue, page 26.  You can download the issue here.

The 1950s Museum was in the Chicago Tribune Metro section on Sunday February 3, 2008. We had a color photo and text on the front page and more photos and text on page 5. If you go to chicagotribune.com, put "1950s Museum" in the search box, and you can go to the article, but now you have to pay to read it there. If you Search the internet for "1950s Museum" the article should come up in another site where you can read it for free.

Along with the article are great color photographs, there was a video clip of me doing part of the tour, and comments from people who had read the article. There were 34 comments. 

In March 2008 the museum appeared in an article on page 6 of the AARP Bulletin. That article included our web address. We have heard from people all over the country. Keep checking back to see the memories I will be adding. You can find the article through an internet search. It was on aarp.org for two months, but is not there, now.

If you are interested in communicating with Park Foresters, there is a group on Facebook , "Grew up in Park Forest," which has 2000+ members. Please, if you put a memory there, send something along to us, too! We would especially like copies of your longer memories.  And, if you are adding memories to a Rich East Reunion website, please send those along to us, too.
