Lake Forest in 1916

Description

Register and join us in person to travel back more than 100 years to Lake Forest during the iconic Jazz Age. In 1916, Market Square was just opening, local Red Cross groups were forming to assist the European war effort, the Marion Lambert murder trial was dominating local and national headlines, and author F. Scott Fitzgerald was visiting Lake Forest to see Ginevra King. 

Presenter Laurie Stein is Deputy Director and Head of Curation of the History Center of Lake Forest-Lake Bluff.
