​Become a Part of Oak Brook's Legacy!

You're invited to join us in preserving the rich history of Oak Brook by participating in our Brick  Engraving Program. This is a unique opportunity to honor your family, celebrate a special occasion, or memorialize a loved one with a personalized engraved brick that paves the walkway of the Oak Brook Heritage Center. Each brick purchased will contribute to the restoration of the Old Butler School Building, a treasured landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This historic building serves as the Oak Brook Heritage Center and home of the Oak Brook Historical Society, a hub for community events and historical education. All you have to do is download and print the Brick Engraving Program form and submit it to the Historical Society. Become a part of Oak Brook history now!
