Western Springs Historical Society

We are raising money to save and preserve one of the very first maps of Western Springs from 1880.   With funding, we will hire Graphics Conservation Co. to do the restoration.   The map is in pieces and will require a lot of work, but our team and historic map professionals believe it has a story to share and is worth the extra effort it takes to save. 

We hope we can share this fully restored double-sided map in the Water Tower Museum later this year.    Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.    

All donations over $100 will qualify to receive a reproduction of this map once the artwork is completed.
