Images: #TBT remembers Lisle from the '60s and '70s
The Village of Lisle was permanently settled in 1832. Despite recent growth, the village still has a small town feel. In this week's #TBT Gallery, we share some photos of local landmarks in Lisle from the 1960s and 1970s, courtesy of The Museums at Lisle Station Park.
Lisle's earlier days are maintained in a small group of old buildings that make up the museum. The museum is open Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and admission is free.
You can also visit the museum's website here.
