The Norwood Park Historical Society will conduct a comprehensive oral history project with neighborhood seniors, in conjunction with Mather Lifeways' Mather Cafes. The interviews will be utilized to create the "Voices of Norwood Park" exhibition, to be on display at the Seymour-Crippen House in Chicago, between February and November 2009. The exhibit will kick-off a year of oral history-related programming, with workshops, school group visits, and a website component that will help bring the memories of Norwood Park's longtime residents to life.
