IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
BRIEF HISTORY In 1984 the Morton Grove Historical Society
(founded in 1970) in partnership with the Morton Grove Park District,
purchased and moved the Haupt-Yehl House. It was built in 1888 and relocated from its
original location on Lincoln Avenue and McVicker to its present site in Harrer Park. The
Historical Society and Park District cooperate in maintaining and operating the Museum
and Education Center. The museum collects and displays artifacts of signifi cance to
Morton Grove, including those of the original inhabitants, early settlers and of more recent
additions to the community. Learn about the rich history and vitality of Morton Grove
and all who lived here by contacting the museum. The Morton Grove Historical Museum
opened to the public in 1986 followed by the Education Center in 2008.
