A History of Chicagoland in Maps In-Person
Join Donald and Tanya Smith, owners of land surveying and map-making company Greeley-Howard-Norlin & Smith, for a trip through Chicagoland history as told by survey maps. Hear stories from the earliest development of the land, the Chicago Fire, Abe Lincoln, run-ins with the FBI and more. The Smiths will present many historical maps, including a 1891 real estate map of Riverside, along with antique surveying instruments.
This program is co-sponsored by the Frederick Law Olmsted Society - Riverside.
The Smith's family has been involved in land surveying and map making since 1854. Donald and Tanya own and maintain a large collection of historical documents dating back to the early 1800s
