An opening ceremony was held on June 29, 2024, at the Museum of the Grundy County Historical Society, Morris, Illinois, where Dora E. Schoonmaker ("Dora"), who founded the girls' elementary school that started Aoyama Gakuin 150 years ago, determined and prepared for overseas missions.The process leading up to the opening was a series of unexpected encounters and connections, an experience that felt guided by forces beyond us.This exhibit, the only one of its kind in the world, traces the life of Dora and was realized through the collaborative efforts of the Rev.
