Addison Historical Society Holiday Potluck

The Addison Historical Society cordially invites you to their annual Holiday potluck!  Enjoy delicious food and company.  Our main speaker is Leslie Goddard who will present her illustrated lecture “Remembering Marshall Field’s at Christmas”.  For many Chicagoans, no Christmas was complete without a visit to Marshall Field’s, the city’s grand dame of Department stores.  This illustrated talk traces the store’s beloved holiday traditions, including the Walnut Room Christmas tree, the holiday window displays, the Toy Department, the Cozy Cloud cottage, and the Christmas catalog.  See family photos with Santa Claus over the years and peek behind-the-scenes at the employee party.  And of course, meet Uncle Misteltoe and his family.

The Potluck will be held Sunday December 3, 2023 from 3-6pm at the Addison VFW Hall, 446 W. Lake St. in Addison.  There is no charge to attend, but guests must r.s.v.p by contacting the Addison Historical Museum at 630-628-1433 or museum@addison-il.org by November 24 to reserve your space.  Guests are asked to bring a side dish or dessert to share.  The Society will provide the main dishes.
