Tuesday, June 30
All day

Add to Calendar 2020-06-30 00:00:00 2020-06-30 23:59:00 America/Chicago Remembering Marshall Field's For more than 150 years, Marshall Field’s reigned as Chicago’s leading department store. https://www.scpld.org/programs

For more than 150 years, Marshall Field’s reigned as Chicago’s leading department store.

This illustrated talk with historian Leslie Goddard traces the store’s history from its beginnings as a dry good store in 1852 to its reign as a world-class fashion and service trendsetter and tourist destination. Photographs, ads, postcards, menus, and memorabilia trace the store’s cherished traditions from chicken pot pie and the Walnut Room Christmas tree to the State Street store’s legendary window displays, and, of course, Frango Mints.

To view the presentation, https://youtu.be/iJaOny1O2Uk (link will be available beginning June 16 through June 30)

This is a virtual presentation; it will not be held at the Library.
