I am currently researching cultural programs and facilities in Chicagoland Counties for the Chicago Field Museum. My hope is to compile a list of programs and facilities that promote cultural understanding and education for a number of counties in Illinois. Currently, my research has led me to Lake County. I am curious if any of you are aware of any cultural programs ( i.e. heritage organizations, ethnic centers, etc.) that might fit the bill for my project. In addition, I am also interested in any environmental conservation societies in Lake County. As part of my project, I am very interested in how the environment and how people make use of their natural surroundings. Any help would be great. Thank You
