Forgotten West Ridge and Rogers Park at the Northtown Branch

Join Forgotten Chicago at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 5 for a presentation at the Northtown Branch on the overlooked history of West Ridge and Rogers Park.

We'll discuss the Edgewater Golf Club, long-gone greenhouses that once populated the neighborhood, architectural gems, former movie palaces and more. In true Forgotten Chicago form, we'll show present-day photos of the remnants that remain, demonstrating that relics of history are often hidden in plain sight. The presentation will be fully illustrated with historic and present-day photos and maps.
