This cabin served as a stagecoach station, hotel, general store, and post office for the entire area. By 1834, after the Black Hawk War, farmer Joseph Vial had moved from New York and built a cabin along what is now Plainfield Road, an ex-Native American trail in the south of Western Springs. The first known settler in the area near Western Springs was Elijah Wentworth.
The last Cook County campground of the Potawatomi was within what is now the Timber Trails subdivision. The natives were gone by the end of 1835, but Potawatomi artifacts may still be found buried in the Springdale neighborhood. It is unclear whether they built a village, but evidence of temporary campsites has been found near Flagg Creek in Forest Hills. We will continue to partner with associate school districts, colleges, community agencies, and others to continually enhance student opportunities, improve student preparedness, and provide positive learning environments for all students at Lyons Township High School.Around the turn of the 18th century, nomadic Potawatomi Native Americans settled in the Western Springs area. Improving academic achievement and promoting student engagement in all LT has to offer remain top District priorities. Decisions will be made to advance success, promote growth, and support social emotional health of all LT students. We understand the impact all of our decisions have on our students, their families, and our community. Lyons Township High School remains committed to building a community based on a foundation of equity and inclusion where all students are treated with respect and dignity and know they belong. As an institution that fosters the physical, social, and emotional well-being of its students, we pledge to continue to promote practices, systems, and processes that advance equity, access, and inclusivity.
