Tea Room Lunch in a Quaint Village
Enjoy a leisurely visit to Historic Frankfort.
This modern community has retained the
history and charm of early America. Founded
in 1855, Frankfort’s rich heritage continues to
be evident throughout the Village. From its
historic downtown district to the Prairie-style
architecture of many buildings, heritage has
been carefully preserved. Upon arrival, you will
be greeted for a 10 minute narration. Browse
through several specialty and antique shops,
as well as the historical society museum. The
Trolley Barn and Breidert’s Green are just
two interesting locations in Frankfort. The
1840s brought German settlers from the
Pennsylvania area to Frankfort. Frankfort
township was named by Frederick Cappel
after his native city, Frankfurt-Am-Main in
Germany. Built in 1885, the Trolley Barn once
housed trolleys on the old Joliet and Northern
Indiana Trolley Line. Numerous other rail lines
passed through Frankfort, which was known
at that time as a “stop on your way West.”
Today, Frankfort is thriving and has become
known as the “Jewel of the South Suburbs”.
