Take a docent led tour of "To the Moon: Snoopy Soars with NASA"--a travelling exhibit on loan from the Charles M. Schulz Museum-- as well as "By All Accounts: The History of Elmhurst".

Just before the first man landed on the moon, Charlie Brown and Snoopy soared through space with NASA’s Apollo 10 mission in May 1969. The exhibition To the Moon: Snoopy Soars with NASA examines the history of Apollo 10 and the Peanuts characters’ role in that flight and in the NASA Manned Flight Awareness safety program. This travelling exhibit is on loan from the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California.  

Attendees will also get an exclusive tour of By All Accounts: The History of Elmhurst which examines how the city has changed and grown over the past 165+ years.
