In 2020, LHS received a $750,000 Illinois Public Museum Capital Grant to be used to expand and upgrade the Carriage House at 23 West Maple Street. The funds will be used to update the archive, provide more storage for the collections as well as new offices for staff and volunteers, a new gift shop space, modifications for ADA accessibility, and a new kitchen space for Society events.

Like any successful nonprofit, we wouldn’t be able to achieve what we aim to accomplish without the support of a dedicated core of volunteers and donors. We consider ourselves very fortunate that individuals of all ages and backgrounds can see that the work we do is important, and have decided to join us in sharing the story of Lombard as we write our next chapters together.

And, now on to the next hard task! We need to ask for your help by making a donation so that this project can be completed. Right now we are a little bit ($100,000) short of making the future of the Carriage House by making it into a fully functioning center of activity for the Lombard Historical Society, and the community of Lombard.

Without your support in helping us cover these added expenses, we would be unable to add a new fully functioning kitchen for events, new technology for presentations, or install the specialized storage structures needed to protect the artifacts that tell our community’s story.

Please help make history by making a donation in any amount that you can afford. Thank you!
