Museum Information: The Mount Prospect Historical Society is a very active local Historical organization. We document the history of the community, provide resources for individuals interested in the history of the village, its residents and organizations, and run a house museum. We provide local schools with a free local history text book and have many resources and activities available on-line. We also have a number of local history video programs that can be borrowed, either from us or through the public library.
