Exploring the History of Farming in the Park Forest Area

Park Forest, IL–(ENEWSPF)– With much of the South Chicagoland area now developed – our term for land now occupied by homes and businesses, infrastructure above and below – it’s sometimes hard to believe that, now all that long ago, Park Forest and surrounding areas was dominated by farmland. The Park Forest Historical Society (PFHS) will present a program in September to explore this area’s agricultural roots.  The program will be preceded by a brief annual meeting of PFHS with reports from the officers and an election of the board.  The Sunday September 20 meeting will be held at 2:30 p.m. in the Board Meeting Room of Park Forest Village Hall at 350 Victory Drive, and is open to the general public.
