A local group is raising money to make its plan a reality.
HINSDALE, IL – A Hinsdale group plans to open the doors of a historical home by creating a public gathering space, a museum and a café.
In 2005, the century-old Zook Home and detached garage were moved to KLM Park, from 327 S. Oak St.
The house is named after architect R. Harold Zook, who was known for his contributions to his field.
