The Crystal Lake Park District is offering yet another FREE Summer Sunday at Colonel Palmer House. 

On Sunday, July 15, join us from 1 to 4 p.m. on the grounds of the beautiful historic Colonel Palmer house, 660 East Terra Cotta Ave (Route 176) in Crystal Lake.

This month's theme is World War II; The Homefront to the Frontlines.

Young men gone to war, rationing, oil and scrap metal drives, victory gardens, swing music, Hollywood and Rosie the Riveter during the WWII-era will be the topic of this Summer Sunday. 

Members of various re-enactor groups will bring this time in our history to life on the lawn of the historic Colonel Palmer House.

From the war front to the home front; great sacrifice by residents of our community was a way of life during the early 1940's.

Admission is free and open to all ages. Come enjoy a Summer Sunday at Colonel Palmer House. For further information contact Sandy Price at (815) 477-5873, or via email sprice@crystallakeparks.org.
