Please reach us at director@gehs.org or call 630.469.1867 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 While there is usually sufficient parking in the area, if you have mobility concerns, you may want to be dropped off at our front door or arrive early enough to park in the lot surrounding the History Center. Large event attendance may require walking a few blocks to the building. At 800 N. Main St., we are next to Forest Glen Elementary School, a block south of St. Charles and Geneva Roads in Glen Ellyn. 


 We adhere to CDC, State and County guidance regarding masks, etc. at all events. In keeping with current guidance, masks are welcome but optional. Please be aware that some groups renting the facility may require them.  Free masks will continue to be available in the lobby.
