Very little trace of it remains today, but once there was a quirky subdivision tucked away in what is now the Thatcher Woods Forest Preserve. How it came to be there, what life was like for its residents, and why there’s no sign of it today will be the topic of the presentation. This presentation is an encore of a program given by FioRito last summer at the River Forest Public Library, which drew a standing-room-only crowd. Enjoy the program again or for the first time on April 12 at OPRF Mu...
