We hope that today's citizens, armed with a better understanding and appreciation of their heritage, will make a commitment to the future well-being of our community as did their parents and grandparents. S ince 1983, when the Lakes Region Historical Society took as a project the restoration and preservation of the 1892 yellow brick grade school building, our collection has been growing. The building has become a repository for many documents and artifacts of local and general interest. T he museum's collection includes items pertaining to the home, farm and business life of early Antioch and the Chain O'Lakes region.
Items relating to the schools and local organizations are often on display.
Exhibits are changed several times during the year to feature items of seasonal interest. IL 60002 O ur museum has available many items for research. Available also are an extensive history of the Methodist Church, cemetery burial lists, old photos, and other times of interest to anyone doing genealogical or historical study. Lakes Region Historical Society and Museum Arrangements can be made for group tours. The Museum is open every Saturday 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. throughout the year.
