Speaker David Lloyd will guide us through the use of the grid system, title documents and current records to discover owned any parcel of land and how it was used.  Using a story format, David has a way of drawing his audience in t the adventure of discovery research.  This is a great way to connect with both the land and local history.

"Agnelic Organics"
7:00 pm at the LaGrange Park Library
555 N. LaGrange Road, LaGrange IL

If we are what we eat, we need to have more control over how and where our food is grown.  One way to do that is to more about organic farming.  Learn about this well-know organic farm, what it means to be a share holder and the volunteer work that is a part of Angelic's mission.

"Spring Walk on The Prairie"

Join John Elliot of the Cook County Forest Preserves for an evening walk through the Prairie to hear the Chorus Grogs and American Toads as the geese and the ducks head home for the night.  If the sky is clear towards the end of our walk, we will observe the stars and constellations.
