Visit the oldest house in Lombard to experience the 1840's. The Village of Lombard has designated the Sheldon Peck Homestead as a local landmark.
Restored to its original appearance, this home was the site of the area's first school, was a link on the Underground Railroad, and was the home of prominent and nationally-recognized portrait painter and artist Sheldon Peck.
Tours highlight Peck's portraits and life during the 1840s to 1860s. In addition to the reproduction paintings there are original painted sketches believed to be by Peck on display. |
