The Kendall County Historical Society

The Deerfield Area Historical Society is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of the Deerfield community through various exhibits, archival materials, and the restoration of local landmarks such as the Caspar Ott Log House. In collaboration with the Deerfield Public Library, the society also manages the Digital Past project, making historic photographs and documents accessible to the public. In addition to its local contributions, the society is part of a broader network offering resources related to regional and national history, including connections to institutions like the Lake County Discovery Museum, the Chicago History Museum, and the Illinois State Archives. These partnerships enhance the understanding and appreciation of both local heritage and significant historical events across Illinois and beyond. Generated from the website
