This major award-winning traveling exhibit, that premiered at the Elgin History Museum in October of 2006, focuses on a
century of the Jewish experience in Elgin, Illinois. Starting with the arrival of the Adler brothers in the 1850s, it portrays a significant story of struggle and achievement culminating a century later with the building of a new synagogue, the
consecration of a Jewish cemetery and the valued participation of Jewish individuals in all aspects of Elgin’s life.
