Chicago natives could easily identify a Field’s shopping bag at a hundred paces, and Chicago brides weren’t really getting married until they registered at Marshall Field and Company. Marshall Field and Company’s history is tightly entwined with that of Chicago. Most significant events in Chicago history have a Marshall Field and Company connection, including the Chicago Fire, the Eastland disaster, and the 1892 World’s Fair. Many of the city’s cherished institutions have been funded in part by Field dollars including the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago Historical Society (now known as the Chicago Historical Museum), the Museum of Science and Industry, and the UIC. In this presentation, McHenry County College professor, Dr. Sarah Sullivan, will review the events, features, and personalities that made Marshall Field’s Chicago’s store.

There were reliable foods here, and migration from Meso-America introduced more. But myriad other foods entered and mingled as people escaping war, poverty, and famine began flooding into the young country. Between 1850 and 1910, the Midwest grew faster than any other region in history. Migrants from China, Europe, Mexico, and other regions of the U.S. brought traditions, which mixed and evolved. The food culture of a region famed for abundance became hard to define (but worth exploring) because of its diversity.

The History Center’s choice of Sin in the Second City brings the book group back to Chicago with this sharp and popular history of morality, sexuality, and prostitution. Author Karen Abbott focuses on the Everleigh Club, a brothel on Dearborn Street. Her success may stem from the general public’s fascination with the seedy stories of history, and why not? Abbott’s scope, though, includes an analysis of morality relative to time, gender, class, and locale. These elements make it much more than an exhibition of a sultry past. It is also a thoughtful consideration of the oldest profession in the context of twentieth century Chicago. The book will be discussed Wednesday, May 21, from 6-7 p.m. at the History Center. And just so you know . . . Our book and Coffee Talk for July is Joe Kozenczak’s The Chicago Killer about the John Wayne Gacy investigation. I had to set the book aside a couple times because Gacy’s atrocity upset me. I chose this book because of the local connection and the fact that we could couple the book and Coffee Talk again. It is important to recognize and utilize firsthand information in doing history. Kozenczak was a valuable member of Des Plaines law enforcement for many years, and we are fortunate to be able to draw from his memories. —Philip Mohr https://www.desplaineshistory.org/programs/calendar/2014/4/16/teachers-open-house monthly 0.5 2025-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f01985e4b08aaf263878bf/1397679738038-ZC2F5WRM9KXL38DTHGLA/image-asset.jpeg Calendar - Teachers Open House All teachers are invited to take a tour of the Kinder House and attend a resource fair at the Teachers Open House Tuesday, May 6, from 3-5 p.m. at the History Center! https://www.desplaineshistory.org/programs/calendar/2014/4/16/easter-egg-decorating monthly 0.5 2025-04-29 https://www.desplaineshistory.org/programs/calendar/2014/5/8/may-coffee-talk monthly 0.5 2025-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f01985e4b08aaf263878bf/1397678972030-C39D85K1MMF10CNWH3SE/image-asset.jpeg Calendar - May Coffee Talk These German POWS lived at Camp Pine in Des Plaines during World War II.

Benjamin Kinder Benjamin Kinder was born in England in 1846 and immigrated with his family to this area soon after. He opened a tinsmithing shop on Miner Street in 1872, which grew into a very successful hardware business on the southeast corner of Pearson and Ellinwood in 1881. Benjamin was chief of the volunteer fire company, served on the village board, and remained civically involved through this life. In 1907, Benjamin and his wife Elizabeth built a large house in the heart of Des Plaines, now operated as a museum by the Des Plaines History Center. Kinder Hardware closed in 2004. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f01985e4b08aaf263878bf/1517758534684-CX383RGX2SZIXUTWAGCN/Winter-2018-January-Banner-24-x-50-RAND.jpg Banners - Socrates Rand Socrates Rand can be considered the “founding father” of Des Plaines. He arrived among the first settlers to the area in 1834. Rand made the first land subdivisions for businesses and houses near the railroad line, creating what we now know as downtown Des Plaines. He served the community as justice of the peace, grain miller, and advocate for public goods. Local people held him in such regard that they referred to him under the title of Squire Rand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f01985e4b08aaf263878bf/1517760014732-D6F2DB1IB8CJIMYO0981/Winter-2018-January-Banner-24-x-50-CONANT-v2.jpg Banners - The Conants Augustus Conant moved from Vermont and became among the first farmers in Maine Township to buy land along the Des Plaines River. Betsey Kelsey followed to marry him in 1836. Augustus soon moved with his family back east to study divinity at Harvard, and he became a Unitarian minister. He served as a pastor in several Illinois churches and then as chaplain in the 19th Illinois Infantry during the Civil War. He died from illness soon after the Battle of Stones River in 1863. Betsey continued raising their family in Geneva, IL. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f01985e4b08aaf263878bf/1517758535245-NENSXCPULX9CHNPRNQYN/Winter-2018-January-Banner-24-x-50-THOMAS.jpg Banners - Adelia Thomas Adelia Thomas was born the daughter of Hester and Elias Thomas, a prominent Des Plaines businessman. Adelia split her childhood between family property in Des Plaines and Cary, IL. Adelia married Chester Bennett in 1865, and the couple lived permanently on Park Place in Des Plaines, which is now the area of Metropolitan Sqaure. She and her family members kept many diaries that are now in the archives at the Des Plaines History Center. They lived happy lives full of sewing bees, church meetings, farming, cooking, business, parties, and family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f01985e4b08aaf263878bf/1517758516809-IXWDAUL2GSGVNNOQV67J/Winter-2018-January-Banner-24-x-50-BENNETT-v2.jpg Banners - Chester Bennett Chester Bennett was a McHenry County farmer and school teacher in 1854-55, who later married Adelia Thomas in 1865. The Bennetts moved to Des Plaines in the 1870s and lived on a street named Park Place, which is now a part of Metropolitan Square. Bennett served as a choir director at the local Methodist and Congregational churches. Chester and Adelia’s son Harry T. Bennett was the first Mayor of Des Plaines when the Village re-incorporated and became a City in 1925. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f01985e4b08aaf263878bf/1517758533770-F7G5OMG2LWUNX4ILMGO8/Winter-2018-January-Banner-24-x-50-KINDER-v2.jpg Banners - Benjamin Kinder Benjamin Kinder was born in England in 1846 and immigrated with his family to this area soon after.
