Historic Sites

Since 1997, each year the Downers Grove Historical Society has recognized one significant building or site which has been important to the history of our village as part of our Historic Sites Program.  Once the site is extensively researched, a bronze plaque which is permanently mounted on the building or at the site.  These locations help paint a picture of our development as a village. Each structure and historic site contributed to our story and by commemorating them, we help preserve their importance in the lives of our citizens throughout the years.
