Isle a la Cache Museum presents 'Stories From Steel' Artifact Exhibit
Fee: Free! Age: All ages.
This ongoing program runs from Wednesday, Nov. 1, to Wednesday, Jan. 31. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. The Joliet Iron Works Historic Site was once a thriving industrial plant producing tons of iron and steel, but today’s visitors need a little imagination to visualize the space in its heyday. While we can’t rebuild the original blast furnaces, we can use artifacts to understand the site. But we wonder: If these objects could talk, what tales would they tell us? In “Stories From Steel,” a new exhibit showcasing Joliet Iron Works archival objects, the artifacts take over the narrative to share their stories. This exhibit was developed by museum staff, with the support of The Nature Foundation of Will County. No registration required.

White Oak Library presents How Should We Teach US History?: The 1619 Project vs the 1776 Project
Wednesday, December 13, 2023
5:30-8:00 p.m.
White Oak Library, 201 W. Normantown Rd.
Join Dr. Mark Schultz, history professor from Lewis University, for a workshop intended to help participants gain a better understanding of the current debate revolving around the proposed use of the 1619 Project versus the 1776 Project to shape curricula in grade schools, high schools, and colleges in the US. Dr. Schultz will explain how interpretations of US history have changed over the past 200 years, and how each new interpretation seemed particularly plausible to Americans in that historical context. As we examine the content of the 1619 and 1776 Projects, participants will have an opportunity to separate facts from interpretations, to explore the main interpretations laid out in each Project, and to consider their plausibility. We hope that participants will leave the workshop with a better self-understanding, a deeper appreciation of their fellow-citizens with whom they disagree, and a greater ability to decide for themselves which interpretation makes the most sense to them. Registration with a valid email address or phone number is required. Staff will email optional reading material in advance of the workshop, or will telephone participants who may wish to pick these items up at the Adult and Teen Services reference desk at the Romeoville Branch Library.
