Follow on Google News | Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Wilmette AuthorsKathy Hussey-Arntson and Patrick Leary will be available to sign copies of pictorial history
“No Man’s Land” along Sheridan Road once sported a dazzling movie palace and a Jazz Age nightclub along with hot dog stands, beach clubs and speakeasies that defied Wilmette’s buttoned-down reputation. The huge engineering effort to reverse the flow of the Chicago River bestowed on the village a cozy harbor and a busy lakefront park, both soon dominated by the massively incongruous but serenely beautiful Baha’i Temple. Hometown to such diverse figures as Charlton Heston, Ann-Margret, Bill Murray, Pete Wentz, and Rahm Emanuel, Wilmette has long been a fine place to grow up as well as a bustling, civic-minded community with more than its share of surprises. Drawing upon the extensive collections of the Wilmette Historical Museum, Kathy Hussey-Arntson, museum director, and Patrick Leary, museum curator, have chosen images that capture highlights from over 150 years of Wilmette’s varied and occasionally contentious history.
