Village hall campus temporary home for sculpture piece

Village of Lombard

“Your Turn” is the name of the statue created by the late Earl “Bud” Swanson that can be seen near the front entrance of the Village Hall.

The life-size bronze sculpture piece represents a girl pushing her grandfather on a swing. The sculpture was placed at this location temporarily as it was initially intended to be placed at the site located at 218-226 W. St. Charles Road. That property is currently undeveloped and once developed, the statue will be moved to that location.

Funding for the sculpture, which complements other pieces in the downtown, was received by Inland Real Estate and the downtown TIF fund, each contributing half of the total $38,000 cost. Rather than have the statue continue to sit in storage, it was placed at the Village Hall campus so that it could be enjoyed by the public.
