About this event

Lunchtime Curiosity Cafe

Second Wednesday of the month from 12-1pm

at the Evanston History Center, 225 Greenwood St.

FREE, no RSVP needed.

Come to the Dawes House for coffee, lunch, and informal conversation around a variety of unique Evanston History topics. Feel free to bring a brown bag lunch; coffee and tea will be provided.

December’s topic is Fun and Games invented in Evanston.

Based on our recent holiday exhibits, “It’s All Fun and Games” (2024-2025) and “More Fun and Games” (2026) and in time to compliment the Evanston Children’s Games mural on Sherman Ave and Greenwood St., Evanston History Center curator/historian Kris Hartzell will share the backstories of Tinkertoys, Operation, Lite Brite, and more fun that has come out of Evanston.
