 We had a wonderful event in partnership with the Eastland Historical Society at Casa Humilde! Guests received the newly updated 2025 edition of our guidebook to Eastland graves in Forest Park. Following a powerful presentation by the Eastland Historical Society, we traveled to Section 8 of Concordia Cemetery to visit several notable graves. In total, 133 Eastland victims are buried across Forest Park's cemeteries—Concordia, Forest Home, and Jewish Waldheim. Huge thank you to the Eastland Historical Society for their compelling presentation, to Casa Humilde for generously hosting us and providing AV support, and to Amy Binns-Calvey for her invaluable research in updating the guidebook. We also extend our gratitude to former Executive Director Diane Grah, whose work on the 100th anniversary edition in 2015 laid the foundation for this project.
