Lincoln Hotel presented by the Downers Grove Park District (at Lincoln Center)
For decades, an icon of Downers Grove has been silent and forgotten, left to fall into a suburban horror story of disrepair. But now, spirits will rise, as this long-vacant Victorian landmark re-emerges from the ashes, and guests new and old will be united. Take a self-guided tour to discover why this hotel earned a reputation as the most haunted building in DuPage. R/NR: $8 at the door. 7:30-10:30 p.m.
