As part of Celebrate Grayslake 125+1, a series of one-minute history videos will be released by the Grayslake Heritage Center & Museum and the Grayslake Historical Society beginning on May 9, 2021. May 9, 1895 is Grayslake's birthday. In 2020, Grayslake was going to celebrate its 125th anniversary. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, those celebrations were made smaller or postponed. Look the Celebrate Grayslake 125+1 logo (pictured at the left) on the Grayslake Village Center Events Calendar to see the anniversary events happening this year.
