Community cookbooks are inherently local and provide tangible links to our past, especially family memories. These recipes are a collection of voices with a core purpose. They connect with community events and organizations to raise money for recreational areas, hospitals, schools, places of worship and much more.
Learn more about efforts to collect and document community cookbooks of Highland Park, Illinois with Catherine Lambrecht, Highland Park Historical Society program director, and Nancy Webster, archivist.
Also learn about historical cookbooks in the Dunn Museum's collection from the Crofton family, who were stationed at Fort Sheridan in Lake Forest, and how they impact the historical record.
