The History of Long Grove
First settled in the 1830s by German immigrants, Long Grove served as a crossroads between Chicago and Milwaukee, and many city dwellers today pass through its signature covered bridge and into the village’s charming early-1900s shopping district to revisit that bygone era of American history.

Old churches, barns, and businesses—along with the people whose hard work helped the village prosper—are captured in over 200 vintage photographs within the pages of Long Grove.
