La Grange
Overview
Covering only two square miles of land, La Grange (French translation "The Barn") is a small town just outside of Chicago. Despite its size, La Grange has a lot to offer its visitors. Maintaining that small-town mystique, the roads of La Grange are lined with several antiques shops, art galleries, and even an old movie theater in the center of town. While you’re visiting, be sure to take some time to notice the neighborhood architecture that populates the area; an attraction in and of itself. With Victorian, Queen Anne, vernacular, and prairie-style homes lining the streets, every house adds its own, unique influence to the community.
