Downers Grove Historical Society

Edited-Photo-1

Every year, the Downers Grove Historical Society identifies an individual who epitomizes the spirit of “giving back” to the community.

The late Montrew Dunham, who co-wrote the history book “Downers Grove, 1832-1982” and authored the follow-up, serves as the model for this award.

This year, the Historical Society recognized Mary Ellen Young as the recipient of the Montrew Dunham Award for her leadership in improving local childhood education, reducing bullying, fostering adolescent mental health, and championing organizations that enhanced life in Downers Grove for current and future generations.

The ceremony took place on Saturday, Oct. 5 pm at the James Henry Breasted Auditorium at the Lincoln Center.
