What is the Warrenville Historical Society? |
The purpose of the Warrenville Historical Society is to bring together those interested in Warrenville's history, and to collect, preserve and display objects and documents that illustrate that history. The Historical Society is a self-supporting not-for-profit organization.The Warrenville Historical Society was organized in 1980 and the Society opened the Warrenville Historical Museum in 1984. Space was provided for the Museum in one room of the Greek Revival Style Albright Building through the generosity of the City of Warrenville, interest groups, businesses and individuals. The museum now encompasses the entire building. The Museum is supported by the Warrenville Historical Society Memberships, donations, fund raisers, and the Warrenville Museum Guild, as well as a grant from the City of Warrenville.
This website is sponsored in part by the City of Warrenvile Hotel Motel Tax Fund.
The Warrenville Historical Society will host a celebration of the 200thanniversary of the birth of Colonel Julius Morton Warren, the founder of our fair city. Come and enjoy a piece of birthday cake and a hot beverage, wear a silly party hat, and join in a rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday to You!” to memorialize the man without whom Warrenville could never have become the thriving metropolis it is today. The evening’s festivities will feature a talk on the Colonel’s life by Museum Director Steve Bruun with a possible surprise or two along the way.
7:00-9:00 p.m. Wednesday, January 13th Warrenville Public Library Meeting Room
