Embrace the Outdoors
Opened in March 2001, Independence Grove is a 1,100-acre preserve and recreational area in Libertyville, Illinois.
Prepared to host events throughout the year, Independence Grove offers a variety of venues among the sprawling fields and forested areas:
- The Native Garden, complete with a waterfall, wildflowers, and greenery.
- The Beach, which can be booked from June to Labor Day.
- The rustic Audubon Hall, built from cedar, stone, and glass, complete with a fireplace, built-in bar and panoramic view of the lake.
And, there are a number of additional options—both indoor and outdoor—that celebrate the beauty of the preserve!
Between a Book’s Covers
When most people think of the Chicago Public Library, they do not think “event venue.” However, the Harold Washington Library Center offers a number of unique settings for your next event.
On the ninth floor, there is the spacious atrium of the Winter Garden—the architectural centerpiece of the Harold Washington Library Center. With marble floors and a terrazzo, this location can offer seating for up to 400 people.
