The Western Springs Water Tower houses the historical society’s Tower Museum, giving this local landmark an additional role as a place to explore village history.
Its distinctive stone exterior makes the tower a recognizable stop in central Western Springs.
The historical society lists the museum at 914 Hillgrove Avenue and currently advertises Saturday morning opening. Confirm the next opening before planning an interior visit, as the organization is staffed by volunteers and special arrangements may differ. The photograph shows the tower exterior. A walk past the landmark can be combined with the surrounding village streets, while museum access follows the society’s visitor schedule.
