HIGH TEA IN A QUAINT 1890’S VILLAGE
Enjoy
a leisurely visit to Historic Frankfort. This modern community has
retained the history and charm of early America. Founded in 1855,
Frankforts rich heritage continues to be evident throughout the
Village. From its historic downtown district to the Prairie-style
architecture of many buildings, heritage has been carefully preserved.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted for a 10 minute narration. Browse
through specialty, art shops and historical society museum. The Trolley
Barn and Breiderts Green are just two interesting locations in
Frankfort.
The 1840s brought German settlers from the Pennsylvania area
to Frankfort. Frankfort township was named by Frederick Cappel after
his native city, Frankfurt-Am-Main in Germany. Built in 1885, the
Trolley Barn once housed trolleys on the old Joliet and Northern
Indiana Trolley Line. Numerous other rail lines passed through
Frankfort, which was known at that time as a "stop on your way West."
Today, Frankfort is thriving and has become known as the "Jewel of the
South Suburbs."
