Program Description

Event Details

From 1929 to 2009, Kiddieland in Melrose Park was one of Chicago’s favorite amusement parks. Join us for a fun presentation that will take you back in time! Relive the past with Cheryl Brown as she revisits the history of the park with vintage photos. Re-experience the park through videos of the park on a busy summer day! Learn about the final auction of the rides, why the park had to close, and where the rides are today.

This program will take place online on Zoom. After registering, you will receive a link to the Zoom meeting at least 15 minutes in advance of the program. Don't see the email? Make sure you check your spam folder!
