The City hosted its first annual Legacy Business Alliance reception on Thursday, September 5 at the Evanston History Center to honor and celebrate some of Evanston's long-standing Legacy Businesses. Check out more information on the recently launched Legacy Business Alliance.

The purpose of the Legacy Business Program is to celebrate, advocate for, and retain Evanston’s living heritage as embodied through the legendary businesses which contribute significantly to the City’s historic, cultural, economic, or social identity.

While we started with 39 pilot businesses, we know there are many more legacy businesses out there!
