Celebrate Grayslake's 125th Anniversary With History Trail Stroll

The contest could land you some cash that can be used at Grayslake businesses if you visit all 25 locations on the trail.

GRAYSLAKE, IL — Grayslake is turned 125 years old this year and village and chamber officials are encouraging residents to celebrate the anniversary with a stroll or bike ride on a "history trail."

The Grayslake Chamber of Commerce will hand out $100 in "Chamber Bucks," which is money that can be used at any business in Grayslake that is a chamber member, to five people who visit all 25 locations on the history trail by Aug. 22 and take a selfie.

A guide book for the history trail can be found online. A paper copy can also be picked up at the Grayslake Heritage Center & Museum.
