About the Conference
The 12th Annual Calumet Heritage
Conference, on Saturday, October 22, 2011 in Blue Island,
Illinois, is a celebration of the Calumet region’s
foundations and future.........its diverse heritage.
A constellation of satellite cities has
grown around Chicago over the past century to give shape to
the industrial economy, society and landscape of the Calumet
region. Each city fits into the network; but each is its own
special place. Few places offer a better vantage point to
consider industrial suburbs than Blue Island, a diverse and
vibrant community since 1835.
