Why expand the Carriage House now?
- The Society has received a $70,000 grant provided construction is completed this year
- To bring this village-owned property into ADA-compliance
- To enhance our ability to tell Lombard’s stories through exciting and interactive exhibits
- To add the capacity to host classrooms of students, and to offer expanded tours
Why is the Village of Lombard giving money to this project?
- Capital improvement of a village-owned property (sidewalks, sewer/water, and fire/burglar protection)
- The village has maintained the carriage house since 1980 when it was placed on the Maple Street property
- The Village is also loaning money to the Historical Society to be repaid in two years.
I love Lombard! How can I donate to this project?

- We need $119,700 more to complete the project.
