The Grayslake Heritage Center & Museum features various exhibits including the following:
Embracing Change: The Growth of Grayslake, created in partnership between the Grayslake Historical Society, the Village of Grayslake and Taylor Studios, Inc. This engaging, family-friendly exhibition provides a detailed look at how our community has grown and changed over time through rare images and artifacts, stunning graphics and innovative interactives highlighting distinctive Grayslake scents of yesterday.
Growing Up X is an award-winning exhibit on loan from the Illinois State Museum that showcases everyday items and the defining moments familiar to anyone who grew up in the 1970s, 80s, or 90s. Step back in time with Care Bears, Star Wars toys, scrunchies, mix tapes, an original NES, a Blockbuster video, and oh so much wood paneling.
Postmarked: Grayslake, 60030. From old postcard images of our hometown to scandals that made the national news, there is more to Grayslake mail than meets the eye. This exhibit was signed, sealed, and delivered to the Grayslake Heritage Center and Museum on February 10th, 2024.
