OUR FUTURE LOCATI ON IN THE
LANDMARK
FIREH OUSE
LAKE
AND LOMBARD
OAK
PARK , ILLINOIS
The Historical Society has been proud
to be located on the second floor of
Pleasant Home in Mills Park since
1970. It is the only place we have
ever called home! But we also look
forward with great anticipation in
2015 to our move next to Stevenson
Park in a soon-to-be-renovated Oak
Park Landmark, shown here in a
circa 1900 photo.
Marking Life's Milestones
Looking for a unique way to
commemorate a birth, celebrate
a special occasion, or remember a
friend or loved one? Remember these special
people or mark these distinctive events by purchasing a
personalized plaque at the base of a tree, park bench or
other park amenity at one of the many Park District park
sites. This program is overseen by the Memorial Trust
Committee. For plaque installation in
the fall, orders are due by July 1. For
more information on marking a milestone or getting
involved in the Memorial Trust Committee, contact the
Oak Park Conservatory at (708) 725-2400.
