About the event

Movie at the Mausoleum
We are venturing into Forest Home Cemetery after dark for a Movie at the Mausoleum.

Join the Library, Historical Society of Forest Park, and the Park District of Forest Park to watch Alfred Hitchcock's classic The Birds on the steps of The Lehmann Mausoleum.

Enjoy a brief introduction to the history of why The Lehmann Mausoleum is empty and why Forest Park has so many cemeteries. Park behind the cemetery office at 863 Des Plaines Ave; signs and volunteers will guide you to the Lehmann Mausoleum.

Due to limited parking, we encourage attendees to bike, walk, or carpool.

If we need to cancel for weather, we will let you know by 3 pm on Friday.

Due to limited space, we are opening the event up to Forest Park Public Library cardholders first. FPPL full access cardholders can register between August 25 and September 7. To get a card, go here. Beginning September 8, it will be open to the general public as space allows.
