We’re Not Bluffing…We Love Doing Business In Lake Bluff!

What Happens If  You Do, What Happens If  You Don’t

The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) tell homeowners how important it is to have their chimneys, fireplaces, and other wood- and fuel-burning appliances properly maintained once a year to prevent fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. If not properly tended to, debris, nesting animals, and highly flammable creosote can easily ignite in your chimney and fireplace. Cracked or damaged masonry can also cause the fumes that are supposed to be carried out of your home to leak back into your house. Poorly vented or clogged clothes dryers can cause the same health and safety risks.

A Destination Not Just A Journey

The history of Lake Bluff dates back to the 1800s when settlers from the East began traveling across America to seek new land, fortunes, and opportunities in the West. In 1836, John Cloes and his wife were the first to settle in the area, beginning a new life on their 100 acres of lakefront land. The Cloes family grew and there were seven children when John died in 1849. In 1875, Ben, the youngest son in the Cloes family, sold the family acreage to a group of Methodist ministers. Since travel for retreat and leisure was gaining in popularity, the newly acquired land was one of the first locations to attract visitors. Under the auspices of the Camp Meeting Association, the resort area’s name was changed from “Rockland” to “Lake Bluff”. Camp Meeting was established on the prime beach location of Artesian Lake, and was host to cultural, educational, recreational, social and religious programs.

As Development Expanded

The burgeoning fascination with travel for leisure continued to grow. By the 1880s, there were over 30 new lodging choices and a 2,000-seat tabernacle in Lake Bluff which drew the wealthy from across the Midwest.

Today

There has always been a strong sense of balance between both the resident and the visitor experience in Lake Bluff. Residents retain a tight-knit community and a strong connection with their neighbors and Village. There is also a strong effort to brand Lake Bluff and capitalize on bringing visitors from nearby Chicago and throughout the Midwest.
