North Lawndale's 150th Birthday Social
Date:02/27/2020Time:6pm-8pm
Location: Skyline Room 3750 West Ogden Ave. 4th Floor
North Lawndale was born by an act of the Illinois State Legislature on February 27, 1869. We turned 150 years old in 2019. On February 27, 2020, we begin our next 150 years. We have spent the last 2 years collecting the individual stories of our residents, both past and present. Come out and join us as we celebrate our past, present, and future at our last celebration of our official year.

We have a lot of work ahead of us in commemorating this community milestone. We have a community gateway to build, and viaducts to paint. Now it’s time to start working toward our future.

Come out and help North Lawndale make a statement of pride; a statement that will last until our 200th birthday in 2069, and beyond.
