History Snapshot

 

Oak Brook is a prestigious community located about 23 miles west of Chicago.  Elegant homes, an energetic corporate environment, vast open spaces, top schools, the maximum in shopping experiences, several golf courses, bike and pedestrian paths are just some of the lures of magical Oak Brook.
 
Property owners don't pay property tax to the Village since sales tax receipts cover many expenses.
 
Some features of the Oak Brook Sports Core, a 270 acre area, are a Bath and Tennis Club and three outdoor swimming pools. 

Of historical significance is the Graue Mill along Salt Creek.  Built in the 1830's by Frederick Graue, whose family ran it for  60 years, and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.  Slaves used this underground railway station as a safe haven.  Today, it is a museum and attracts visitors from all over to see demonstrations and special events.  Check out the link below to find out what's happening soon.
