Scots of Lake Forest Film

Description

 
Please join the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Historical Society at 2 pm on Sunday, October 18^th, to celebrate the long history of Scottish residents in Lake Forest-Lake Bluff who were corporate leaders and brought the game of golf to Lake Forest. 
In collaboration with the Illinois St. Andrew Society, we present the encore showing of the film, The Scots of Lake Forest. The hour-long program touches on many of the almost 1,000 native born Scots and their children who helped establish Lake Forest. You will learn about the Scots who founded Carson, Pirie and Scott and ran Quaker Oats and Zenith Corporation.
In addition, hardworking Scots who paved our streets, built our schools, dug our sewers and ran many of the original stores in town will be featured. Over 2,000 old photographs were collected for this project from many private collections and the Historical Society’s photograph collection.
This encore showing takes place at the Gorton Community Center, 400 E. Illinois Road, Lake Forest, in the brand new John & Nancy Hughes Theater at 2 pm on Sunday, October 18th.  Come and join us for a relaxing and fun afternoon.  Top of Form
