The Lamon House Current Renovations

A new roof has been placed on the Lamon House and repair work was completed on some of the siding. On the inside, the dining room has been renovated with a new ceiling, wallpaper, and trim. The old-fashioned bathroom has also undergone some much needed refurbishing. All this has been possible with donations and a matching grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. But a lot of work is still to be completed. Residents from the Lincoln Park Historic District have volunteered to help the Museum Society raise funds to complete the necessary repairs. They will be supported in this endeavor by Museum volunteers, area garden centers, florists, and local businesses. But none of the work is possible without the support of Museum Society members and the community.

This past summer participating residents of the Lincoln Park Historic District opened their lovely lawns and gardens for tours during Scents of July garden walk. This event showcased the area's charming gardens and rich architectural heritage.
Funds rasied during this event are being used for renovations at the Lamon House.
