Becoming a member means becoming a partner in the Lake Forest Preservation Foundation’s mission to conserve and protect the historic visual character of our community. Membership support plays a vital role in advancing this work, helping to underwrite preservation projects and fund restoration grants that have supported treasured community landmarks such as Gorton Center, Ragdale, Elawa Farm, the East Lake Forest Train Station, and Walden Bridge.
