Meet Your Docent

MAE JOHNSON loves living in Edgewater. Whatever you want, its near. In fact, a nearby neighbor, Rose, thought Mae would make a good docent at EHS and convinced her to become involved in the Home Tours. Since then, Mae has been involved in many EHS projects, such as our ice cream socials and fundraisers, as well as participating on the Collections Committee. Although all the exhibits have been interesting and informative, Mae’s favorite was the one on the Chicago “L”.

Mae’s passion is photography. In addition to her official capacity since 1983 as Treasurer for her church, Holy Family Lutheran, she has served as the unofficial photographer. She also loves all kinds of music ranging from country to jazz. Mae has four adult children, three sons, one daughter and six grandchildren. A big smile and hearty welcome greet visitors at EHS whenever Mae is there.
