La Grange Country Club is a private golf club in La Grange, Illinois, a suburb southwest of Chicago. Founded 118 years ago in 1899 and designed by Herbert J. Tweedie as a nine-hole golf course, the club relocated to its present location in 1913 and was expanded to 18 holes.
Our primary goal is to make the collection relevant and accessible to present and future generations. Collections of photographs, Sanborn maps and newspaper clippings have been obtained or donated to help us build a rich historical record of our two villages. Since its founding in 1972, LGAHS has been collecting documents, photos, artifacts and memorabilia significant to La Grange and La Grange Park from sources and publications dating back to the early 1900’s. LGAHS continues to archive and record information about the people, homes, schools, churches and businesses in the La Grange area.
