Parades were – and still are! – a popular form of entertainment in the early 1900s, even in rural areas like Orland Park. They were large-scale events that many town residents attended. This photograph is from a parade at a World War I flag-raising ceremony that helped sell bonds during the war.

One of the biggest portions of the Humphrey House’s renovation included the opening of two new rooms in the back of the house. For the past fifty or so years, these rooms have been used as an office and storage space. However, by using information from historical records and artifacts from the Humphrey family collection, we have returned the rooms to what they may have looked like at the turn of the century. The Humphrey House will soon be open by appointment every Friday and Saturday from 10-3 p.m., so keep an eye out for that announcement!
