Breathtaking hills, valleys, rivers, canals, forests and fields frame Lemont, a quaint village just 25 miles southwest of Chicago. A casual stroll through our downtown district reveals our rich history, anchored in the building of the canal and the community's limestone quarries. Nestled among locally owned shops and restaurants are preserved historic sites, charming limestone buildings and public art displays that pay tribute to Lemont's heritage. Lemont's downtown is on the National Register of Historic Places. Come to Lemont and Enjoy our Scene!
