Step back in time and celebrate the spirit of small-town America!

Join the Lemont Area Historical Society for Hometown America: Lemont Celebrates America 250, a family-friendly afternoon filled with nostalgia, hometown pride, and good old-fashioned fun.

Stroll through interactive stations highlighting the people, places, and stories that shaped Lemont. Pick up your passport and collect stamps as you explore Route 66 memories, historic Then & Now photos, local fun facts, postcards from Lemont, and the legacy of our limestone heritage.

Relax on the patio with a refreshing glass of lemonade or iced tea, enjoy Americana music, challenge your family to lawn games, and indulge your sweet tooth at our homemade dessert contest. Whether you're a lifelong Lemont resident, new to town, or simply looking for a unique summer outing, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
