A Message from Our President

The safety of our volunteers and visitors is a top priority for the Northbrook Historical Society. Therefore, the Museum, Heritage Center and the Artisans at the Inn Shop are closed, and will remain so, during the rapidly changing situation surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
We are doing this solely out of an abundance of caution and recommendations of social distancing from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Illinois Department of Public Health.
We will reassess the situation in 30 days and will reopen at a future date.
If you have a research question, please call (847) 498-3404 or send us an e-mail.
Judy Hughes
President, Northbrook Historical Society





My son just bought a house that was supposedly a farm house from the turn of the century. I was wondering if you could help me find any history on it.
Pictures, names of owners or at least the years that house changed ownership.
Changes, building permits from Northbrook for changes that have occurred, etc……
Address is 2871 Shannon Ct.
