Needed: Old Photos of Lake Ellyn Boathouse

Hello Everyone- I know it has been a long time since I have posted. I hope you have been following the Glen Ellyn Park District Board over at our official board blog. All of our meeting notices, packets, video and highlights are posted over there.

The Park District recently hired Conversation Design Forum and Farr Associates to create a master plan for Lake Ellyn Park. They will be conducting interviews and sending out questionnaires to users and stakeholders and then hosting several public forums. Please look for the dates soon- we'd love to get your thoughts on the future of Lake Ellyn and the Boathouse.

Right now our architect is requesting old photos of the boathouse. We have some great resources from the GE Historical Society, our archives and old newspapers, but not a lot of photos. We are looking for photos prior to 1990- the older the better! We are particularly looking for photos of the interior of the boathouse- we don't have any old ones!

Do you have any old photos from events in the boathouse? Prom pictures on the dock? Christmas parties inside? Ice skating with the boathouse in the background?

Please email me if you have any photos- we can scan them and get the originals back to you. Thanks!
