The Park Forest Historical Society was founded in 1985 to promote and preserve the history of Park Forest. It is an independent not-for-profit organization, which presents programs to share various perspectives of the village's unique past. The main criterion for election to the Park Forest Hall of Fame is consistent, substantial and beneficial contributions to the life and citizens of Park Forest over a considerable span of time. The Hall of Fame nominations take place each year from October 1 through December 15.
