New Lenox Area Historical Society The New Lenox Area Historical Society makes history fun! Join us and get in on the fun! To plan for future development and expansion of activities.

History is the story, and the NLAHS works hard to bring the story of New Lenox to life by preserving memories and treasures from the past for future enjoyment. Mission Statement:

Recognizing that the population of New Lenox area is composed of both persons who have long and deep roots in the community and an increasing group of persons who have little or no connection to, or knowledge of, the her

itage of the community, the New Lenox Area Historical Society adopts the following mission:

To educate and encourage the adults and youth of the community in the study of the past of the New Lenox area and welcome new members to the community by sharing the past of the community. To establish the Schmuhl School Museum and to coordinate and supervise its activities. To cooperate with other community organizations: governmental, civic, and social in the pursuit of community history and preservation. To support both in word and deed preservation activities in the community. To provide through grants, donation, and other financial support for the Schmuhl School Museum and activities of the NLAHS. To be a leader for the preservation and/or storage of community documents, photograph and artifacts for increased availability. Adopted October 7, 1999
