Please note - Naper Settlement's primary mission is to preserve our community's history and share its stories in an educational environment. The Settlement is proud of the widespread community support it receives in order to accomplish its mission. In recognition and respect of this commitment, the Museum complex is made available for use by appropriate outside groups. To ensure that the Museum continues to maintain its high level of integrity and public trust, outside renters are required to adhere to specific rules and guidelines for the use of the grounds and facilities. Scheduling priorities will defer to the Museum's mission and desire to preserve the facilities to the highest standards.
