Did you know that the Orland Volunteer Fire Department operated out of the old Village Hall building on Beacon Avenue beginning in 1894? In 1960, a new station and Village Hall building replaced the old white-framed, two-story structure. The new building was built by the 25 volunteer firemen. The original building had two old wooden garages and was cold and damp, whereas the new building allowed for additional storage, a kitchen and an area for firemen to gather. Money for the new structure came from donations raised by the volunteer firefighters.

Want to learn more about the history of Orland’s Fire Department? Our next Village Hall display will focus on their history! Keep an eye out for it at the end of September.

This quilt was made in 1917 by the Ladies Guild of the Orland Methodist Episcopal Church. Each square contains the names of families that were a part of the Orland M.E. Church congregation. Based on the different styles of embroidery, each square was likely stitched by a member of that family. The quilt is currently on display at Orland Park’s Village Hall from now until the end of September.
