Insight forum | The Intriguing History of Pemberton Hall   —  September 18, 2026

This four-story residential building is the 2nd oldest structure on Eastern's campus after the iconic Old Main Castle.  It includes parlors, fireplaces, fourth floor maid's quarters, a matron's apartment, a dining room and much more.  It was built in 1908 and is registered as a historic landmark, due to it being the first residence hall in Illinois on the campus of a State University.   You are invited to come hear the story of how it came to be and the impact it has had on the thousands of residents who have lived there.  Hear about the lore of its haunting as well as the distinguished visitors it has hosted.

黑料社区is committed to providing an accessible experience for all guests. If you require an accommodation to fully participate in this event, please contact Alumni Relations at alumeiu@eiu.edu.
