Love Story Maps.

Have you seen the newly updated HERITAGE HOMES STORY MAP? Historic homes in Lake County often display a plaque distributed by the Lake County Historical Society designating the building as historic. There are over 400 Heritage Homes throughout our county. Our Story Map guides you through photographs & history about many of the structures. It is a work in progress, but we hope to one day include information on all our Heritage Homes. Thanks to David Phares, a fulltime cartographer with the Lake County Geographic Information Systems Department, for creating this easy to use index with photography and history of Lake County Heritage Homes.
