History

Established in 1932.

The Center is a community service organization set in 78 beautiful acres in Palos Park. 60 of those acres host the Children’s Farm. The Center also is the home of the Wayside Chapel, which is the subject of this site. Formed as a interfaith center more than 75 years ago, The Center has branched out into many community services including the Log Cabin Center for the Arts, the Farm & Nature Discovery Preschool, the Lodge which hosts a number of different kinds of events, three season camps, and a substance abuse rehabilitation program. People of any faith, or of no particular faith, are always more than welcome.
