NEW! EHM Mobile App for Self-Guided Tours
We excited to share our latest tool to help you learn more about Elmhurst history! Our new Mobile App is ready for you to use at your convenience to learn about local history, delve deeper into exhibit topics and lots more. The current selection includes a mobile version of our family-friendly Bronze Plaque History Adventure and Echoes of the Great Depression, a walking tour to nearby locations that connect to our current exhibit, "Together We Cannot Fail: Overcoming the Great Depression" (available through May 2, 2021). These options will change frequently, so be sure to check the app often for the latest mobile tours. To start your adventure, go to the App Store on your cell phone, search for Elmhurst History Museum, and download the IPhone or Android app. It's that easy! Please let us know if you have any issues using the app or suggestions for improvements by emailing ehmprograms@elmhurst.org. Enjoy your free Mobile App tour!
