Event coordination and in-house catering are available through Event Sales Manager and Executive Chef John 'Woody' Linton. Established in 1891 and incorporated in 1909, the organization has operated from its current landmark building since 1928. Located in Oak Park, Illinois, 8 miles west of downtown Chicago, within walking distance of the CTA Green Line and the Metra Union Pacific West Line.
