Elmhurst History Museum

"Saw their display of the famous department stores of Chicago and Elmhurst. So much to see, read and feel. It was like a time capsule had been opened for trip down memory lane. I recommend this place."

"Nice historic museum, enjoyed the Lost Chicagoland department stores information and displays."

"Nice museum covering local history. A little cramped in the rotating exhibit. Probably would of been better if the patrons would of been more considerable of others. If they would of moved out of the way and carry on their reminiscing while others can enjoy the displays."

"Really outstanding little place. They have such fun special exhibits. I mean fun! I really hate it when museums make political statements. This is pure enjoyment. We went to the fast food one in the past. Put smiles on our faces. I remember it better than most exhibits I’ve seen at the Art Institute. Today was the lost department stores. The parking lot was packed!!! There was a line to read all the exhibits. And that wasn’t a bad thing. Ladies were taking pictures of each other next to the exhibits. I think we all worked at one of these places growing up. The nostalgia was incredible. And there was Uncle Mistletoe. And even Klaus Dept store from my neighborhood in the city! Very, very well done!!! And it was free! Naturally, we left a donation! I belong to quite a few of the Chicago area and organizations. PThis one is truly a gem."

"Culturally rich museum of historical artifacts that played a big part in Chicago's early years of operation. Elmhurst History museum also displayed it's own collectives of the city of Elmhurst. The 2 story building is great for history buffs and individuals who don't like a lot of walking and winding halls. Nice experience."
