EXHIBITS


NEW THIS YEAR


This year the Museum's display at the Villa Park Library was on Depression Glass. Sandi and Bob Dollinger along with Ruth Speder set up the display and it received rave reviews. If you missed it, you can see an even larger display “Depression Glass of the Years” when the Villa Park Historical Museum reopens for the season on April 18 th . There you will be greeted by a new colorful collection of Depression Glass. Filling three showcases will be, one each of various patterns of green glass, pink glass and one of opalescent hobnail (or moonstone). We have tried to identify as many patterns as possible so perhaps you will see your pattern. You may also be able to identify a pattern we couldn't so please tell us.


Currently, our east window displays show a collection of sewing items and vintage baby clothes. You will also see the new 48”x72” tables in the museum's research area with a set of 4 antique chairs which were purchased with the proceeds from our first housewalk.
