Come explore the story of soda pop in Arlington Heights, which started 145 years ago! Follow the growth of production through the story of F.W.

Learn about how the introduction and creation of this fizzy drink had a large impact on Arlington Heights and the Chicago area. After viewing the exhibit, be sure to stop by the gift shop and pick up your own soda to take home and taste!
