About the Libertyville Illinois Area 

Located in Lake County, southeast of Grayslake, the Village of Libertyville is a delightful community that is a model for the all-American small town. Countless economic and recreational opportunities make Libertyville a popular choice for many people relocating to Northern Illinois.

Home to more than 21,000 people, this village and its local parks and lakes encourage residents to live an active lifestyle. Independence Grove Forest Preserve has a visitor’s center, children’s play area, marina, boat rentals, fishing, swimming beach, trails, pavilions, and a native garden. The Adler Memorial, Butler Lake, and Nicholas-Dowden parks are just several of the many green spaces also found throughout the community. For the adventurous, Six Flags Great America has one-of-a-kind roller coasters and family-friendly events and entertainment. Libertyville also has a nine-hole golf course, public library, movie theater, and sports complex offering something for everyone in the family; rock climbing, heated driving range, fitness center, indoor soccer, basketball, plus much more. 

Chosen by Money Magazine as one of the “Top 100 Places To Live,” Libertyville remains a traditional, small town with friendly neighbors and close-knit neighborhoods. To experience a glimpse of life in Libertyville in an earlier time, all one needs to do is take a walk through the picturesque downtown area. In the summer, residents enjoy picking up fresh produce at the downtown farmers market and gathering for the community’s weekly “Picnic in the Park.”

The Libertyville-Mundelein Historical Society works hard to preserve the community and educate new and old residents alike about its rich past. The Ansel B. Cook House is headquarters for the society, and a museum is open to the public. The David Adler Cultural Center sponsors a variety of programs designed to illuminate Libertyville’s historic and cultural presence in Lake County. Residents annually celebrate their village and its history with Libertyville Days – a parade, carnival, and other activities.
