The Lombard Historical Society operates the Victorian Cottage, Carriage House, and Sheldon Peck Homestead. So come and play in the Pioneer Playhouse, give your senses a treat in the Sheldon Peck Accessible Garden, see how the Victorians lived, trace the Underground Railroad through northern Illinois at the Peck Homestead, step into the Carriage House for exhibits (rotating on diverse topics) or, if your timing is right, take a guided tour of Lilacia Park (month of May). There is an extensive archive for research please make an appointment in advance.
2. Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art

5.0 based on 2 reviews
The Lizzadro Museum recently relocated to Oak Brook. We opened our doors in our new facility on November 12, 2019. Our museum was founded by Joseph Lizzadro in order to share his love of Lapidary Art with others. The Museum opened its doors in Elmhurst on November 4, 1962 with this statement of purpose from the Lizzadro Family, "To share with others our enjoyment of the eternal beauty in gemstones and our appreciation of the art with which man has complemented the works of nature". The museum is still owned and operated by the Lizzadro Family.

The Museum has just reopened with limited visitation (due to the Covid-19 Pandemic). I went on a Saturday and was the only visitor, otherwise it was just the staff. Although they wanted/preferred reservations, I was allowed in without one since there weren't others. The Museum boasts a large collections of Jade carving, Rocks from different countries and interactive screens. I spent about an hour at the museum.

I stop here almost always when I need to breath between meetings and clients . Perfect spot for a short or longer walk and for relaxing. I went to the museum once so now I just walk around it’s grounds.

To this day, some people aren't aware that the world-famous evangelist Billy Graham began his ministry as a student at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. The Billy Graham Center Museum, opened in 1980, is designed to help visitors "extend their understanding of the good news about Jesus" and contains exhibits about the history of Christian evangelism in the United States and the ministry of Billy Graham. Located at 500 College Avenue on the Wheaton College campus, is is open from 10 to 5 Tuesday through Saturday. It also is the primary location for many of the college's Bible and theology classes. It is a family-oriented museum with rare artifacts and interactive displays that begin with the early history of Christian evangelism and its influence on American society and climax with a powerful walk-through presentation of the Gospel message. The museum, which consists of 20,000 square feet of permanent and temporary exhibit space, starts with the Rotunda of Witnesses, which houses nine stunning tapestries depicting great witnesses for the Gospel, and proceeds to the History of Evangelism in America, then the Cross of the Millennium, the Life and Ministry of Billy Graham and Walk through the Gospel. Another interesting exhibit is the Life of George Beverly Shea, the beloved singer at Graham's crusades around the world.

The Museums at Lisle Station Park provide visitors the opportunity to learn about the heritage and culture of 19th century Northern Illinois. Settled in 1832, the life of this agricultural community soon revolved around the railroad depot and the area became known as Lisle Station. Historic buildings on-site include the Beaubien Tavern, Blacksmith Shop, Lisle Depot Museum, CB&Q Waycar #14584, and Netzley-Yender Farmhouse.

Every year Lisle hosts Depot Days and the Museum is an important part of this "back in time" event. 9.15.18 - 9.16.18. It is a two day event with games for kids, wagon rides, a pettintg zoo and tons of "yesteryear" events! You will not be dissapointed, this is our 7th year going with the grandkids. Lisle is such a nice town and this is what they do best!

The Museum is located on the grounds of Wandschneider Park in the historic Blodgett House. The Victorian structure was built in 1892 as the 11-room home of the Charles Blodgett family, descendants of one of the Village's first settlers. Ongoing exhibits include the original Downers Grove fire truck and the 1846 Blodgett House - used as an Underground Railway stop.

Have always wanted to the see the MIes Van Der Rohe house located on the campus of the Elmhurst Art Museum. Attended a lecture and was pleasantly surprised by all of the history. Art museum is very nice and is worth the effort to travel to Elmhurst.
