The North Riverside Historical Society assembles and catalogs the wide array of items that paint a picture of our small town, demonstrating how it has grown dramatically over the years. We welcome interested residents to come and share their mementos and browse our collection.
We strongly encourage anyone with photos, stories or other items of historical significance to come and share them with us as we build our collection and prepare it to be shared with the world!
This is a wonderful Village endeavor that we all will be proud to view and show to visitors who come to North Riverside! Collection and artifacts are permanently on display inside the Village Commons and the North Riverside Public Library.
For more information or to get involved, please contact Bryant Rouleau.
