Donald E. Stephens left a collection of porcelain dolls called Hummels in his museum located in Rosemont, Illinois, which is the world's largest and includes rare figurines of soldiers at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin. It also discusses how Rosemont was founded as a city on land that was once a rubbish dump near Chicago before it became incorporated with the help of Donald Stephens. The text then goes on to describe the growth of Rosemont, including its proximity to O'Hare airport and the development of highways, train connections, convention centers, casinos, hotels, office buildings, car rental outlets, and a sports arena with a basketball team owned by Donald Stephens. The text also mentions that Donald Stephens was the mayor of Rosemont for almost 70 years, along with his son Brad, who has since taken over as mayor after Donald's death in 2007.
