点评:You don't realize how many famous people have lived in Oak Park, Chicago's closest western suburb, until you visit the Oak Park River Forest Museum. Located at 129 Lake Street in Oak Park, in a former 1898 firehouse, it opened in 2017 and features a restored interior, a public research center, regular programs and exhibits that tell stories about Oak Park and River Forest. For a relatively small town, the museum has so much to offer. For openers, participate in a scavenger hunt to find minifigures of famous local residents placed throughout the museum. Win a prize. Explore Edgar Rice Burroughs' career as a writer of his famous fictional character Tarzan. See an exhibit that tells the story of how the community grappled with race before the 1960s and how the 1968 Fair Housing Ordinance sparked changes which still shape the village today. See an exhibit that recognizes the contributions of the local chapter of League of Women Voters. See highlights of Oak Park River Forest High School's history. And read biographies of the many local legends, from architects to artists to writers to entrepreneurs to scientists to social activists to athletes, including Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ray Kroc, Lawrence Welk, Paul Harvey, Percy Julian, Amy Morton, Charlie Hoag, Johnny Lattner, Iman Shumpert, Ken Sitzberger, Bob Zuppke, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, John Mahoney, Lois Nettleton, Joe Tinker and John Sturges.
