Families and new businesses find Mundelein to be a true gem in Lake County. With a distinctive small-town feel for its population of 32,000, Mundelein boasts a Metra station and several arterial cross sections that allow for great access.

Superb housing values, solid schools and a strong industrial base make our village an ideal place for families and new businesses.

Rich in history of over 100 years, Mundelein recently entered a period of significant redevelopment in its downtown area of several dozen acres. With the support of a progressive and forward-thinking board of trustees, large investments are being made in the planning and the execution of residential and mixed use property developments.

It’s an exciting time to be in Mundelein.

Summer activities abound in our hometown. The award-winning Mundelein Park & Recreation District provides 33 exceptional parks and numerous recreational services. The jewels of the park system include Barefoot Bay Water

Park, Steeplechase Golf Course, Diamond Lake Beach, and Kracklauer Park to name just a few.

For the past three decades, Mundelein’s Community Days festival has earned the reputation of being one of the best community festivals in Lake County.

Mundelein is focused on its heritage and promoting its downtown. Community celebrations, Park on Park classic car shows, Summer Concert Series, Farmers Market, Craft Beer Festival, Mundelein Fine Arts Festival, One World Cultural Festival and nice restaurants bring people together to create a unique

sense of place in the downtown. Mundelein takes pride

By Jon Leslie LynnArtistic Director/President Kirk Players

There is a very special family feel to the Kirk Players of Mundelein, a community theater group now in its 51st season.

The Players have been doing three to four shows a year and donating all of their profits to charities and the community’s arts programming for a half century.

The first play the group produced was “The Night of January 16” on June 1, 1966, at the Kirk of the Lakes Presbyterian Church. A hat was passed and 101 people contributed $122 to a program for Viet-namese children with cleft palates, and the Kirk Players was born.

The group owes its birth and continued vision to its founder and director for the first 40 years, John W. Lynn, whose love for theater and a desire to dedicate the Players to community service can still be felt today. It was from John that the feeling of family began.

During the years, 11 members of John’s family have worked with the Players, including Paddy, and eldest son, Jon, who have been the only other artistic directors since “Papa” John retired.

Today, the Kirk Players is made up of an

acting and technical crew of 35 to 40 mem-bers and is overseen by a seven-member board of directors. Together, they have put on a host of memorable shows, including “The Ladies Man, “Sherlock and the Case of the Jersey Lily,” “The Mousetrap,” “Seussi-cal the Musical, Jr.,” “Charlotte’s Web,” “It’s a Wonderful Life, Radio Play,” and most recently, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.”

Group members are committed to doing the best theater and giving back to the community.

The Players have donated more than

$120,000 to more than 34 charities in its history. In the last several years, that focus has changed to supporting the arts in our community.

Each year, the Players gives a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior from each of Carmel Catholic and Mundelein high schools who will be studying the arts. Grants of $500 grants each are given to the community’s three elementary school districts for arts support. A $500 Emerging Artist Award is given at the Mundelein Arts Festival, and the group gives a $400 grant to the Mundelein Park & Recreation District to help fund summer art classes for students with financial need.

Since the Players moved out of the church in 1967, productions have been performed at Mundelein High School. The Players were also a part of the Mundelein Park & Recreation District from 1968 to 1971, and had a 10-year stint where the fall play was performed for multiple weekends at the Cuneo Mansion in Vernon Hills.

The Kirk Players is very proud of the quality of the theater it presents. Group members are very proud of the contribu-tions they have made to their community over the years. And they are very proud of the “family feeling” they maintain.

The 2017 Mundelein Community Days features something for everyone from a carnival, fireworks and a parade to food, music, games and more.

The annual festival begins Friday, June 30, at noon with the start of the daily Mun-delein Munch and a diverse selection of food from a variety of vendors at Kracklauer Park, and ends four days later, Monday, July 3, with the fireworks show.

Here are some of the fest’s daily high-lights:

Friday, June 30, events include: the car-nival that runs 5 to 11 p.m., balloon twister, fire engine rides, Mundelein pageant queens introductions, and lots of music. Bands include Anderlik & Church, Kev & Co, Classical Blast, and Second Hand Soul.

Saturday, July 1, traditionally the busiest day of the celebration, will feature the Mun-delein Park & Recreation District’s Free-dom Classic 5K Run/Walk, a pet parade at Kracklauer Park, a car show, kids crafts, horseshoe and bags tournaments, pony rides and a petting zoo, a magic show, and even a jalapeño eating contest.

Don’t forget to stop by the 29th Annual Patriotic Celebration. This one-of-a-kind event includes patriotic speeches and music, antique cars, and an old-fashioned picnic social. Mundelein Munch begins at noon, the carnival reopens at 2 p.m., and the music kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Bands include Achilles and LAVA Rock.

The festival’s third day, Sunday, July 2, be-gins with an early pancake breakfast hosted by the Mundelein Fire Association. Other events include Bingo, Irish Dancers, a jug-gler/stilts-walker, and the annual Munde-

lein Community Days Parade. The parade will form in the Metra station parking lot and will exit on to Division Street, proceed west to California Avenue, north to Hawley, and west to Mundelein High School. Mun-delein Munch begins at noon, the carnival

reopens at 2 p.m., and music starts at 5 p.m. Bands include Brass from the Past and HiFi Superstar.

Mundelein Community Days concludes Monday, July 3, but the day is packed with entertainment and activities to end the festival with a bang.

Be sure to take the kids to have their faces painted and stop by to see — or join in on — the watermelon and hot dog eating con-tests. There’s a Tae Kwon Do demonstration by Keumgang Martial Arts.

The festival culminates with fireworks at 9:30 p.m. The best viewing areas are the Metra station, village hall plaza, the festival grounds, and Fairhaven School. This year, the village hopes to put on a larger fire-works display than last year through a new crowdfunding effort. Contributions can be made via credit card to www.events.org/MUNDIL01/, or by checks made payable to: “Village of Mundelein Fireworks Fund.”

Once a summer vacation destination for city dwellers, Diamond Lake Beach today is the perfect summer staycation for family fun.

The Beach, at 1016 Diamond Lake Road, has a rich history that dates back more than 100 years.

From the late 1890s until the mid-1940s, Diamond Lake was a summer destination for thousands of Chicagoans looking to

escape the heat, as visitors enjoyed swim-ming, boating, fishing, bicycling, horseback riding and more.

In the 1920s, Lloyd and Gordon Ray opened The Ray Brothers Ice Cream Parlor. Their business expanded to include The Ray Brothers Dance Hall, boat rentals and a restaurant at the beach. The dance hall hosted performances by stars, including Jack Benny, Glenn Miller and Lawrence Welk.

At its peak, there were seven resorts near the eastern shore of Diamond Lake Road.

Over time, the construction of better roads and increased automobile travel meant people could travel farther, and Dia-mond Lake’s popularity as a resort destina-tion diminished.

In the mid 1960s, Mundelein Park & Recreation District purchased the prop-erty from Ed Marabella and his wife who owned and operated Ed’s Beach. In 1980, the district constructed the Diamond Lake Recreation Center, which includes a bath house for beach goers and Learning Center Preschool. Over the years, the park district

has used Diamond Lake Beach for swimming lessons, fun and activities.

Today, the Beach is still a destination for cool fun on hot summer days. The large sandy beach has plenty of room for sunbathing, a playground and a sand volleyball court. Swim-mers can try to climb across the inflated floating sportspark.

The facility offers paddle boat, paddle board and kayak rentals. The grassy picnic area allows visitors to dine alfresco.

It features three picnic shelters with tables and outdoor grills.

Diamond Lake Beach hosts two annual events.

•The Community Picnic, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, June 17, enjoy free beach admis-sion, a free Zumba class on the

beach, and free boat rentals. The evening culminates with an exciting water ski show.

•The Cardboard Regatta, Aug. 5 at 1 p.m. Contestants of all ages are challenged to make a boat with only cardboard, duct tape and paint and then race it

on the water. Prizes are given in several categories, includ-ing fastest boat and best sink. Proceeds go to Mundelein Parks Foundation.

T he varied artifacts and exhibitions inside the Fort Hill Heritage

Museum commemorate life in the Mundelein area dating back more than 100 years.

There’s a model of a 1900s-era schoolhouse, pioneer tools, antique maps of Lake County, military weapons and other artifacts from the region’s past.

“It has so much of the Fre-mont Township and Mundelein history in there,” said Fremont Township Supervisor Diana O’Kelly, who once served on the Fort Hill board. “It’s a little local treasure.”

Run by a volunteer group formally called the Historical Society of the Fort Hill Country, the museum operates at 601 Noel Drive.

The building itself is an interesting historical remnant. The small, one-story structure is a former train depot that once served as Mundelein’s stop on the Soo Line Railroad. A train caboose from the late 19th cen-tury also sits on the grounds.

Dottie Watson, president and curator of the Fort Hill Heritage Museum in Mundelein, talks about the importance of history.


The building had been along the railroad tracks near Park Street in downtown Mundelein. That rail line now is part of the Canadian National Railway.

The structure stopped being used as a depot in the early 1980s and fell into disrepair. In 1983, the historical society raised more than $20,000 to move the depot about one mile southeast to Lions Field and establish the museum there.

Many pieces in the collection were donated by Mundelein-ar-ea residents. Quite a few came from families with deep Lake County roots, families with names such as Rouse and Ray and Wirtz.

Among the items on display are: women’s ornate hats and dresses from the early 20th cen-tury; photographs of the village’s namesake, Cardinal George Mundelein; authentic weapons,

uniforms and equipment from World War II; and antique dishes and glassware.

There’s even some Soo Line memorabilia, including an old wooden whistle.

The diversity of the collection reflects the museum’s mission: keeping local history alive.

“This is a place where people can come and see treasures and enjoy what their ancestors had,” longtime society president and museum curator Dottie Watson said. “You have to give the past a future.”
