When Hyde Park was Happening with Patricia Morse

On Sunday, November 13th, Patricia Morse joined the HPHS to talk about the times when crowds flocked to Hyde Park to be entertained. There were big-time sports at the Washington Park Racetrack, Stagg Field, the Jackson Park Golf Course, and the Washington Park Armory. There were rides, music, and beer at the big amusement parks along Cottage Grove. There was always dancing, especially when jazz filled the air and the airwaves. And, oh yes, there was a fair. If you missed the event, we encourage you to watch the recording.
