Group Visits
We are happy to welcome several groups to The Button Room in the past few weeks. The Questers Group had their meeting in Peg’s sitting room and enjoyed a tour along with treats and coffee. One member showed us her very special “charm string” that had been created by her grandmother. This was the first real “charm string” of buttons we had seen. They are difficult to find because often over time they have come apart. Most of the buttons on her particular string dated back to the early 1900′s.
The senior residents of Sunrise Gurnee also visited recently and particularly enjoyed the gift shop. One resident brought her bag and buttons and donated them to us. We enjoyed sharing stories of the days when Peg was also a resident at Sunrise.
Yesterday, the Knitting Group of Waukegan held their gathering here and enjoyed a tour of our museum.
In the next few months we will be welcoming various other groups thanks to our museum member, Ruth Young and the Lake County Illinois Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.
If your group is interested in hosting a meeting or event please feel free to contact us.
The Titanic
We are celebrating the 100 year anniversary. This button is a mother of pearl etched and signed by Ted Muler, 92′.
