RENT THE 1861 ROOM

The 1861 Room is perfect for meetings and small receptions, with soaring ceilings and bright windows. Until recently, the room included blackboards from the original Gorton School. While we were sad to say goodbye, for a more modern experience and improved usability whiteboards have replaced the blackboards.

To learn more about rates and availability, please contact Event Coordinators Martha ReQua or Megan Engleberg at 847-234-6060, or martha@gortoncenter.org /megan@gortoncenter.org
