General Information
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.
A cooperative effort of the Lisle Park District, Lisle Heritage Society, and the
Village of Lisle, the museum campus was created in 1978 to provide a home for the
community's historic train depot. This partnership remains committed to the
preservation of Lisle's rich heritage with the continuing development of the
historical buildings and through exhibits and special programming. The roots and
early culture of Lisle are still alive at The Museums at Lisle Station Park!
Go Back in Time!
The Museums at Lisle Station Park campus is a great place to
learn and play! Have your next party or group meeting with us!
