By sharing personal experiences, individuals can not only learn about themselves, but teach others about histories that go unsaid. Speaking the truth is a powerful act of self-expression that fosters connection, understanding, and empowerment. By sharing stories, spaces can be opened for diverse and meaningful dialogue that can shape and change the way people perceive the world

Architecture is the intersection of art and science. This can be seen in the homes we live in and adore. Learn more at this special STEM Café dedicated to American architecture at the historic Ellcourt House – a 1900 Tudor revival style mansion on the grounds of DeKalb’s Ellwood House.

Eric Krupa from the St. Charles Heritage Museum has been working with the National Park Service’s Underground Railroad project. Learn more about the connections between Kane County and DeKalb County during his presentation.

Join us for a good old fashioned night of jazz and revelry at Ellcourt, the Tudor-Revival home on the Ellwood House campus. Guests will have the chance to experience 1920’s parlor games, explore the gardens, enjoy handcrafted cocktails, and listen to live music. All events will take place within the Ellcourt home and the surrounding gardens.
