The Lombard Historical Society
Late in 1969, a small coalition of Centennial committee members and volunteers, who had worked on a mini-museum led to the formation of the Lombard Historical Society. Mrs. Wallace became the first president. Lifetime and yearly membership opened through the first annual meeting.
At the meeting, on April 27, 1970, the Lombard Centennial, Inc., became a memory; with its remaining assets donated to the society, it became the benefactor in the launching of the Lombard Historical Society. Mayor Holloman proclaimed April 27-May3 as “ History Week” in honor of the new society, which at the end boasted 175 charter members.
After much study and search the society settled on 23 W. Maple Street where it would house its offices, collection, and display space. On August 2, 1971, the Village of Lombard purchased the almost 100-year-old home for the Society. Nine months later, under the direction of Mrs. Wallace, totaling thousands of volunteer hours the old residence was restored to its original state.
