How often have you driven past the Children’s Home Association of Illinois on Knoxville
Avenue and wondered what was behind that beautiful facade? Guests at this event will enjoy a
presentation on the fascinating 158-year history of Children’s Home, a basement-to-attic tour of
their iconic Knoxville campus, and a Q & A period. You will be able to view old ledgers and
records, architectural plans, artifacts, and photographs related to the building. This event is
limited to 25 people and preregistration is required.
