Warrenville Historical Society

Making Warrenville History Meaningful

The Warrenville Historical Society works to bring together those interested in Warrenville's history, and to collect, preserve and display objects and documents that illustrate that history.

The Historical Society is a self-supporting not-for-profit organization which was organized in 1980. In 1984, the Society opened the Warrenville Historical Museum & Art Gallery in one room of the Greek Revival Style Albright Building through the generosity of the City of Warrenville, interest groups, businesses and individuals. The museum now encompasses the entire historic building. The Museum is supported by the Warrenville Historical Society Memberships, donations, fund raisers, and the Warrenville Museum Guild, as well as a grant from the City of Warrenville.

Thanks to a City of Warrenville Hotel Tax Fund Grant, the Warrenville Historical Society was able to launch our first community banner exhibit honoring Warrenville Veterans. You can see the banners in person in the parking lot of Warrenville Fresh Market on Route 59. We hope this program can grow in the future. If you would like to submit a Warrenville Veteran to be included in future years, please email us a photo, veteran’s name, connection to Warrenville, branch and years of service. You can also see more Veterans featured in our Military Hallway at the Warrenville Museum. To see all of the banners featured this year, please visit our online gallery.
