Aurora Historical Society in Aurora, Illinois, United States | Historical Society | Museum

Aurora Historical Society in Aurora, Illinois, is a unique and interesting historical society that brings the history of the past into the present through research, preservation, presentation of exhibits, lectures and cocktail parties. Our historical society is housed in Tanner House Museum, a Victorian residence built in 1857, that is now a historic home and museum that is open to the public. Visitors to this museum can see how cooking was done back then, and can explore an elegant sitting room of yesteryear. Aurora Historical Society is ably assisted by willing volunteers in preserving history and historical facts.
