Description

A Preview Night ticket includes a Meet & Greet with Waynedale News Publisher, Alex Cornwell as well as light refreshments. This is truly a unique historical exhibit and a huge undertaking. Throughout the years, The Waynedale News has not only been a storyteller of historical information, but also a collector and preserver of significant historical artifacts from around the community. This 700sqft museum will host just a small portion of the pictures, documents, and other non-digital artifacts that The Waynedale News has collected from the past 100+ years. Waynedale News staff members were amazed by age, amount, and condition of the collection as they selected items to display. Invoking a strong feeling of nostalgia, guests will get to see newspapers from almost 90 years ago, business cards from over 50 years ago from people and businesses you may remember, and in addition to many other items, a large display of very early Elmhurst High School and Waynedale school documents, memorabilia and photos. A highlight of the exhibit is concert music from Elmhurst’s Don Goss as well as a slide show of photos that he had taken.
