More than 200 people attended An Evening at Château du Parc in early October at the home of Mimi and Dan Collins at 420 S. Park in Hinsdale. Guests enjoyed libations, hors d’oeuvres and music while learning about the home’s extensive 20-month restoration process, recently completed by the homeowners.

The event featured an interactive exhibit, hosted via the Hinsdale Historical Society’s Historical Tourist App, with newly unveiled content detailing the home’s renovation and shedding light on the original owners of the home. Guests were encouraged to download the app to view supplemental visuals and to hear narration by Hinsdale Historical Society’s Matt Stockmal.

All Proceeds from the event will benefit the Hinsdale Historical Society’s R. Harold Zook Home & Studio at KLM. ■
