The La Grange Area Historical Society is pleased to announce the return of the West End walking tour with John Burns on September 9th and 10th. The tour will focus on La Grange’s west end and will provide tour goers with some surprising tales of the village near Stone Avenue Station.
New this year, we are offering a tour package that includes a wine tasting at the West End Arts Festival! After the tour you can visit the wine tent at the festival and sample four wines. There will be a sommelier available to tell you about your selections. Register now for your Tour and Tasting Package!

- What was the John Unold store?
