The Eklund Room
This exhibit is located in the 377 Park Avenue building. It introduces visitors to Sara “Sally” Eklund and her family. Sally was the donor of the buildings and the garden that today form the public campus of the Glencoe Historical Society. The Eklund Room displays the tools used by Sally’s father in the furniture and upholstery business that he operated at our 375 Park Avenue address. It also includes items from Sally’s own decorating practice. A visit to the Glencoe Historical Society is not complete without stopping in this permanent memorial to our most generous benefactor.
