This structure is now the centerpiece of The Museums at Lisle Station Park. The station played a key role in the community's growth by serving as a passenger and shipping facility for 104 years. It continues to serve the community by preserving the heritage of Lisle. A cooperative effort of the Lisle Park District, Lisle Heritage Society, and the Village of Lisle, the museum campus was created in 1978 to provide a home for the community's historic train depot.
