Historical Museum

Rolling Meadows Historical Society Museum Annual Meeting!

Monday, October 21st 7:00 PM

Rolling Meadows Library, 3110 Martin Lane

About the Museum
The newly built Historical Museum was designed as a replica of the 1st ranch-style homes constructed in the community by Rolling Meadows founder Kimball Hill in 1953. Displays of donated historical documents, photos, and finishings of the 1950s era are combined to create authentic interior spaces within the home.

The objective was to create a museum that did not feel like a museum. Visitors who enter the house will feel they have been transported through time to the actual home of a 1950s Rolling Meadows homemaker.
