14^thAnnual Calumet Heritage Conference

Saturday, October 26, 2013

A web of great and historic neighborhoods like Pullman drapes the region.These places have great stories toldbypeople and the landscapes they have made, stories enlivened and informed by the region's archives, libraries and local history centers. Stitched together, these local resources shine light on a regional story of great national import.

What the resources are and how they can come together in light of a Calumet Heritage Area -- reintroduced to the region at last year's conference and this spring's Calumet Summit -- will be the subject of this conference's presentations, panels and on-site explorations.

$30 Registration Fee Includes:

Lunch, afternoon tours and one year's membership in the
Calumet Heritage Partnership.

Reduced student and senior rates are available.
