After 26 years of service with Elgin PD, Chief Swoboda is retiring as he heads to Fort Collins CO Police Services to serve as their chief. With such a long career here in our city, we know many in the community wish to say goodbye and extend well-wishes. With that in mind, the public is invited to Chief Swoboda's retirement ceremony that will be hosted in the Heritage Ballroom at The Centre of Elgin. We will be honoring his policing and leadership contributions, and his positive impact on our neighborhoods and city. We hope you will come extend your congratulations and support as he leaves to start a new and exciting chapter in his life.

A house is historical in relation to its location, date of construction, architectural style, architect, and ownership. House research is a fascinating combination of legal, architectural, genealogical and cartographical studies. Seeking information about the history of a house is becoming faster and easier as governmental agencies make records available on the Internet. In this hands-on seminar, you can begin to look up information online about your house. Presenter Rebecca Hunter has been engaged in historical architectural research since 1997.
