Our June 7th meeting welcomed Sharry Blazier, Director of Elgin Public Museum of Natural History and Anthropology. She offered a fresh historical view of the museum, which goes back to Elgin’s prominent benefactors, George and Mary Lord. Built in 1907 as the Lord Memorial Museum and opened in 1920 as the Elgin Audubon Museum, it is the oldest museum building in Illinois still used as such. She told stories of a 2-headed calf and a Lion named Sparky. Upcoming events include Dog Days (August 12), an Indigenous People Observation, and Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Sharry truly brought the museum’s history into a bright vision of Elgin’s past. Photo courtesy of Sara Johnson
