Lemont Public Library

Event Space

Prior to settlement, Northern Illinois was occupied primarily by Potawatomi Indians. What was life like? How did surveyors prepare the land for sale, thereby changing it forever? Who were the first non-natives to arrive? Why did they come? You may think you know, but author Pat Camalliere takes a fresh look and reveals surprising details.

2023 is the 150th Anniversary of Lemont. Join us for programs in April and May detailing our town and surrounding areas’ rich history!
