“How It Was Done Then/How It Is Done Now” will be presented by the Dundee Township Historical Society on Sunday, August 4, 2024 from 2 to 4 pm.

The event is for all ages and will feature tools, farm implements and household items like the ones used in the late 1800s and early 1900s and how they compare to tools we use today. See the tasks that were accomplished before electricity came to Dundee Township in 1892.

Come test your skill at boring a hole using a 1890s drill press , saw a log with an old fashioned saw, wring out freshly washed clothes using a hand crank wringer or churn butter and much more.

This interactive event and presentation will be held at the Historical Society Museum grounds at 426 Highland Ave in West Dundee.

There is no admission fee, but donations are appreciated.
