This program recognizes historically and/or architecturally significant structures in Glen Ellyn, including houses, churches, stores, and schools.
***Please note that the Historical Society’s plaquing program is commemorative. While a plaque honors a Glen Ellyn home/structure, the plaque does not carry any protections for the property.***
