IRS990/Desc01. Public Education Programs (Expense $10,734, Income $2,004): The Society's original exhibit for 2024 illuminated the work of a notable 20th century architect, Harry Hale Waterman, who designed many buildings in the Ridge Historic District. The exhibit team included historical researchers and an architectural photographer who lent his photographs of H.H. Waterman houses. The exhibit was free and open to the public. A related educational program was presented by the docents. The Society also hosted speakers for other local history presentations (Rediscovering 1899 Kite Photography; Freedom Seekers about the Underground Railroad activities in the area; Elmer and Richard Carlson's architecture), a talk on stained and leaded glass for old house restoration, and a workshop on researching the history of old Chicago houses. A free "Volunteer Orientation" program was developed to familiarize the public with the Society's resources and services, and to encourage volunteer involvement. In another significant public education effort, RHS regularly and consistently publishes local history items via print and social media.
