Orland Park's John Humphrey House Reopens with New Rooms and Upgrades
The historic John Humphrey House in Orland Park is set to reopen on May 30, showcasing two newly restored rooms and several upgrades. The house, originally built in 1881, was closed in September 2025 due to structural issues, including a sinking foundation. The village of Orland Park undertook significant renovations, including stabilizing the structure, adding air conditioning, and making the entrance ADA-compliant. The newly restored rooms, previously used for storage, will now be interpreted as the servants' quarters, offering visitors a glimpse into the lives of domestic workers in the late 19th century. The house, once home to John Humphrey, Orland Park's first village president and a state senator, has been preserved by the Orland Historical Society and the village.
