DO YOU HAVE ARTIFACTS TO DONATE?

If you have items and materials that relate to Lisle and its community that you would like to donate, please contact the Museum Curator at museum@lisleparkdistrict.org or 630-968-0499. The Museum’s Collections Committee must approve all new donations, so it may take up to three months to decide whether we will accept your artifacts.
