There is a ton you probably don't know about Skokie, and spending a day at the Skokie Heritage Museum is sure to get you up to speed about the village's history. From Skokie's founding families to an archive of pictures, artifacts and keepsakes. Volunteer opportunities include assisting with the archival and preservation process, including data entry; greeting visitors and assisting as needed during special events; and aiding in raising awareness of the museum and its programs through multimedia resources.
