In this session of Mount Prospect Stories, Emily Dattilo, Director of the Mount Prospect Historical Society, will discuss where Mount Prospect residents shopped for clothing in the 1950s and 1960s.
As Mount Prospect transformed from a country town to a suburb, residents had more places to shop in town and more variety of stores, from small local businesses to nationally-known department stores. Dattilo will show clothing and accessory items from the collection of the Mount Prospect Historical Society.
The Main Library is located in downtown Mount Prospect, next to Village Hall. The building houses an extensive collection of materials, spaces for quiet and collaborative work, several program rooms, public computers, a dedicated teen space, and engaging play area for children.
