Would you like to help identify people in old photos at the Cook County Historical Society? There will be a series of coffees held this fall and winter to offer people the opportunity to peruse old pictures in hopes that much needed identities can be recorded. If you’d like to take part, call the museum at (218) 387-2883. Do you have an old picture or a story from years gone by that you would like to share with Cook County News-Herald readers?
