August 2020 Guide | Page 3

We are excited to announce The Grove and Historic Wagner Farm will both be opening their buildings and resuming tours this month. While we have removed the hands-on displays for health and safety reasons, our exhibits provide a great opportunity for education and entertainment for all ages. August is typically a time when many families travel or take vacation. If you’re planning a staycation this year instead, our programs and facilities offer plenty of fun new experiences right here at home. Development on the Glenview Community Ice Center has continued throughout the past few months, and we are on schedule to reopen this facility in September! Keep an eye out – more information on a whole month full of grand reopening small group activities is coming very soon.
