COMMITTED TO PRESERVING THE HISTORIC VISUAL CHARACTER OF LAKE FOREST, IL
Foundation History
In April 1976, the five members of the Historic Sites Committee of the Historical
Society recognized that Lake Forest's historic visual character was threatened.
These members met with Dr. Paul Sprague, a State of Illinois preservation
consultant, who had been recommended by the National
Trust for Historic Preservation. Dr. Sprague suggested that a separate organization be established for the
sole purpose of preservation. Thus, the five members of the Historic Sites
Committee chartered the Foundation in August 1976.
