The Evanston History Center, located in the historic Charles Gates Dawes House, strives to capture and teach Evanston’s rich history.

The Evanston Historical Society becomes the Evanston History Center!

A new name and logo for the organization was unveiled reflecting the new goal of the organization to be a place where the community could gather to explore its history.

Even with the change, the mission of the organization remains the same as when it was founded: “…to collect, preserve and interpret the rich history of the City of Evanston and vicinity and all it’s people through exhibits, educational programs and research facilities.”
