The park was originally the estate of Colonel William Plum, who donated it to the town of Lombard in 1927.
Lilacia Park is renowned for its extensive collection of over 700 lilac bushes and 25,000 tulips, making it a floral haven each spring.
The annual Lilac Time Festival celebrates the blooming of lilacs with parades, concerts, and garden tours, drawing visitors from all over.
The park's landscape was designed by Jens Jensen, a prominent landscape architect known for his work on Chicago's parks.
The Helen M. Plum Memorial Library, located adjacent to the park, was named after Colonel Plum's wife and serves as a community resource.
Lilacia Park features several sculptures, including a notable bronze statue of Colonel Plum himself, adding a touch of history to the gardens.
