American Legion ~ Robert E. Coulter Jr.
Members of the American Legion Post 1941 tell the story of local war hero, Robert E. Coulter Jr., for whom the Post is named. You’ve seen his name on the side of the building…now you can learn more about his exceptional service to our country. Ticket proceeds will be donated to Post 1941 for their veteran and community support.
Grab your “lunch bags” and board the School Bus ~ we’re traveling to local museums and unique historical places in the Western Suburbs! The La Grange Area Historical Society presents the 2025 History Crawl!
Learn little known historical facts as you relax, sip adult beverages, and have snacks along the way. This unique Field Trip provides a docent at each stop. Upon your return to the Samuel Vial House, you will enjoy scrumptious dinner style hors d’ oeuvres, drinks, and desserts at The Samuel Vial House, home of the La Grange Area Historical Society
