The Tinley Park Historical Society Landmark Chapel and<br />
Museums is nestled within Downtown Tinley. Built in 1884, the<br />
quaint chapel glows in the beautiful stained glass throughout,<br />
a pressed tin ceiling, and an organ to fill the air with music.<br />
The Landmark’s subtle wooden pews seat 120 people with a<br />
wrapped balcony for 60 more. It is the perfect venue for many<br />
social events, including weddings, memorial services and civic<br />
events. The downstairs hall at the Landmark may be rented for<br />
wedding receptions, showers, graduations, birthday parties,<br />
and other events. Its bright atmosphere is fantastic for small<br />
gatherings. The hall can hold 60 people, and with an attached<br />
kitchen it is convenient for full-catered party or a simple pot<br />
of coffee.<br />
The Tinley Park Historical Society maintains two museums.<br />
Located at the rear of the chapel, this museum exhibits larger<br />
relics from the history of Tinley Park. Visitors browsing the<br />
museum will find exhibits detailing the early beginnings of the<br />
fire department, local school district, railroad, and windmill. The<br />
domestic’s room showcases a number of early bridal gowns,<br />
accessories, and clothing; a Native American display showcases<br />
relics found here in Tinley Park and the Sister Cities display<br />
features items from our far-away Sister City, Budingen, Germany.<br />
Located adjacent to the chapel is the Schoolhouse Museum.<br />
A replica of one of the earliest one-room schoolhouses in the<br />
area, this building houses our reference library, and display<br />
cases exhibiting relics and memorabilia of home and farm life,<br />
military and civic displays, early church, school, business, and<br />
civic organizations. Antique toys evoke childhood memories<br />
from earlier times.<br />
