Calumet Regionalism: Past and Future Conference

Calumet Regionalism: Past and Future Conference

Ann Durkin Keating, author of Chicagoland: City and Suburbs in the Railroad Age and Professor of History at North Central College, keynotes the 10th Annual Calumet Heritage Conference, a day of reflection on the theme of regionalism in the corner of Chicagoland known as the Calumet region.  Keating will be speaking on “Regionalism in Chicago Before the Burnham Plan." Rod Sellers -- historian, author and curator of an exhibit at the Southeast Chicago Historical Museum on “Burnham in the Calumet” -- reviews some of the bi-state planning history since the Burnham Plan in a talk that follows Keating’s. And a panel of folks who have been intimately involved in CHP’s past and future will track where CHP has been in its short life and discuss some of the thinking about where it might go as regional planning efforts in the Calumet region continue to move forward.
