Become a Glen Ellyn Historical Society Member

From its beginning in the early 1830’s, the Village of Glen Ellyn’s history has been richly textured by the people who pioneered the prairies and made the fulfillment of their dreams our legacy. To continue to inspire these dreams, a group of dedicated volunteers founded the Glen Ellyn Historical Society in 1969. Today, the Society’s programs encompass activities involving hundreds of residents of the Village of Glen Ellyn and surrounding communities. Members of the Glen Ellyn Historical Society are proudly responsible for:
