Online Lost Mount Prospect Exhibit featuring images from the Digital Past project.

  Since the late 19th century many people have left their marks on the Mount Prospect area. Much of what they built, though, has been lost or significantly altered over time. This online exhibit features some of these buildings and street scenes. They illustrate the rich history of Mount Prospect and reflect the hard work and vision of those who have come before us.
