Benefiting Hinsdale Historical Society
For more than thirty years, the Hinsdale Historical Society has
been devoted to collecting, preserving and promoting the history
of Hinsdale. The Society is an active group of dedicated citizens,
who are committed to local historic preservation. The Society is
the home of Hinsdale’s history.
The archives and collections contain a multitude of photos, oral
histories, documents and artifacts that share the story of Hinsdale.
The Hinsdale Historical Society has preserved and is maintaining
three historic properties in the Village:
- The Hinsdale History Museum, housed in an 1874 Italianate-style
home
- The R. Harold Zook Home and Studio, a unique cottage designed
and built in 1924 by the prominent local architect
- Immanuel Hall, a simple, carpenter Gothic style frame church
built by local residents in 1900
Besides the three historic properties, the Society recently opened
the Roger and Ruth Anderson Architecture Center, located in the
lower level of Immanuel Hall, which serves as an architectural resource
for the Village and beyond. The preservation of these three properties
and the Anderson Architecture Center, as well as the extensive archival
treasures that the Society cares for are evidence of the dedication
and commitment the Society brings to Hinsdale history.
