River Forest Links

Known as the "Village of churches and schools", River Forest was incorporated in 1880. Situated along the Des Plaines River, the community contains many architectural influences like its neighbor Oak Park. Proud of the community and striving to preserve its heritage, the Village motto is "to commemorate the past; to serve the present; to inspire the future". Two main attractions in River Forest are its newly developed Town Center at Harlem and Lake Streets, and the Trailside Museum, dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation and natural history since the 1930's.
