Small-Town Culture and History

First settled by German pioneers in the 1840s, Buffalo Grove pays tribute to its local history, the first settlers, and Potawatomi Native Americans in the local Raupp Museum. The area’s renowned Invitational Fine Art Festival draws crowds each summer and every September the village celebrates Buffalo Days, the annual community carnival. Locals also enjoy performances by the Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band at local celebrations and festivals.

The Surrounding Area Connection

Buffalo Grove is connected to the greater Chicago area via the Metra train system on the Chicago-Antioch line. In this way, suburban residents are able to commute to the Chicago area for work and leisure without driving. With weekday access available about twelve hours a day, the Metra system allows residents access to affordable public transportation to and from Chicago while maintaining a pollution-conscious lifestyle in their daily commute.

Life Near the Lake
