The Tinley Park Historical Society
From:
Tinley Park- Park District Page
The Tinley Park Historical Society was organized in 1974 to reserve and document the heritage of Tinley Park and its surrounding areas. The "Old Zion" Lutheran Church, a "prairie gothic" style frame structure built in 1884, was acquired as its home. Now known simply as "The Landmark", it has been the center of the history of Tinley Park, and its surrounding area. The Landmark Church and Museum structures are owned and maintained by the Tinley Park-Park District with the Hisotical Society overseeing and operating the museum and tours of the facilities.
The Historical Society, in its continuing research efforts, is always looking for artifacts, photographs, and other materials (including letter, deeds, contracts, postcards, calendars , old phone books, posters, store gift items, newpapers, etc.), that relate to the Tinley Park area. We will make copies of photgraphs and documents if you are currently not in a position to donate them. A museum has been established in the addition behind the original church. The museum features information and arifacts of New Bremen/Tinley Park history. A research room has also been opened and is available to students and others interested in studying the area history and genealogy.
The Historical Society depends on the community's support to achieve this goal. We encourage you to support the Historical Society through donation or by becoming a member. Contributions are tax deductible, to the extent allowed by law. For more information call the Historical Society at 429-4210 or Park District at 342-4200
