Historic Commission members are appointed by the Village Board. The Historic Commission is charged by the Village Board with "fostering the research, development and preservation of the Village's history for current and future generations". Such activities outlined in the Village Code include perpetuating events, actions, and distinctive characteristics of the Village which represent and reflect the Village's history; safeguarding the Village's historic aesthetic, cultural, and community heritage through appropriate preservation; and promoting the use of annals of history, artifacts, and memorabilia of the Village for the education of its residents. The Historic Commission also provides recommendations to the Village Board regarding Old Town District Preservation Code improvement plans. For more information, see Chapter 17 of the Municipal Code.
Anyone that has questions about Algonquin's history or is interested in participating in a Historic Commission meeting or workshop can e-mail historiccommission@algonquin.orgfor additional information.
