Lombard hotelsOriginally part of Potawatomi Indian lands, the Lombard area was first settled by Americans of European descent in the 1830's. The 1848 arrival of the Galena & Chicago Union Railroad provided local farmers and merchants rail access to Chicago, 20 miles away, and commercial buildings soon sprang up around the train station. Lombard was officially incorporated in 1869, named after Chicago banker and real estate developer Josiah Lombard. In 1927 the estate of Colonel William Plum, a local resident, was bequeathed to the village. The Plum property included his home, which became the village library, and a large garden containing 200 varieties of lilac bushes. The garden became a public park ("Lilacia Park") and since 1930 Lombard has hosted an annual Lilac Festival and parade in May. Another attraction in Lombard is Sheldon Peck house,Recognized as the oldest house in the village and constructed around 1839. This house was home to descendants of the Peck (mid XIX century portraitist) family until 1995 when it was donated to the Lombard Historical Society. It is open as a museum on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and by appointment.
