Before there was settlement in the village, Potawatomi Indians hunted in the area we today call Glencoe. The area was forested and dense, so they pitched the tipis elsewhere, but they left us with signs that they hunted in the area: Indian trail trees and arrowheads.
Join the Glencoe Historical Society and the Glencoe Public Library Jan. 31, 2010 for a program on the Potawatomi Indians of the North Shore given by Lisa Cushing Davis, interim executive director of the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian, Evanston.
The afternoon program is family-oriented and children will enjoy the artifacts from the museum touching tables for the children to explore to help understand the presented by Dr. Davis.
Admission is free. No reservations are necessary. Refreshments will be served. The program will be held in the Hammond Room at the library, 320 Park Ave., at 2 p.m. this program is another in the series celebrating the Centennial Anniversary of the Glencoe Public Library.
