Free Senior Museum Admission
Admission to the Bess Bower Dunn Museum is free for seniors during the entire month of October. Visitors 62 and over are able to visit the Museum, located at 1899 W. Winchester Road, at no cost through October 31.
The Dunn Museum, operated by the Lake County Forest Preserves, cares for the heritage of the county through its distinguished historic collections, and innovative special exhibitions inspired by art, history and popular culture in gallery settings.
The nationally accredited Dunn Museum—a distinction held by only 3% of American museums—cares for a treasure trove of history about our region. Other area accredited museums include the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Science & Industry.
Lake County’s natural and cultural history is brought to life through a balance of interactive exhibitions, authentic artifacts, reproductions and audiovisual displays.
Find Museum hours and plan your visit at www.LCFPD.org/museum/planning. Check our website, www.LCFPD.org, for current COVID-19 protocols.

Acknowledged as a regional and national leader, we protect nearly 31,000 acres of natural land and are the second-largest Forest Preserve District in Illinois.
