Why we love Libertyville & the Chicago lakefront
Our family has called this place home for four generations. It’s a welcoming, vibrant town with deep roots and a strong sense of community. Close to Chicago for easy city access, and with a lakefront that never grows old.
The History of Libertyville, Illinois
Libertyville, Illinois, settled in the early 19th century, grew from a small agricultural community into a bustling Chicago suburb shaped by the arrival of the railroad. Its architectural heritage blends Victorian-era homes and commercial buildings, Craftsman houses, and notable public parks that reflect the town’s historic character.
Local artist who loves Chicago architecture
I’m a local Illustrator who’s inspired by nostalgic places, the impact they have on our lives, and the sense of belonging a simple building can give. When I’m not creating, I’m out on adventures with my wife, son, and our dog Ranger—whether we’re exploring Chicago streets or a sandy beach.
