The Elmhurst History Museum has officially started construction on a new outdoor performance space, which includes a band shell and audience flex space on the campus.

Funded by an Illinois Department of Natural Resources grant and the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation, the project aims to enhance public programming by hosting concerts, storytelling, and dramatic performances starting in spring 2025.

“The project has been in the works for quite a while, and we are thrilled to officially begin the construction of our new  performance  space. The  outdoor  stage will allow the museum to expand our public programming for the community, hosting a variety of unique experiences and performances near Elmhurst’s City Centre,” said Dave Oberg, Elmhurst History Museum Executive Director.

“We can’t wait to see the project come to life and have the community out to enjoy the new  space  next year.”
