Educational Outreach Programs

For DuPage County School Districts

The Glen Ellyn Historical Society provides Educational Outreach programs at all DuPage County School Districts. Special tours of Stacy’s Tavern Museum, classroom programs, exhibits, first-person portrayals and other programs provide students and participants of all ages a connection to the past and early Glen Ellyn.

Then and Now programs brought into the classroom by costumed volunteer facilitators truly make history come alive for students. Many students return to Stacy’s Tavern Museum with parents in tow to share the experience of visiting this unique landmark.

Contact us to schedule a School Outreach Program or to arrange a tour of Stacy’s Tavern Museum.
