“The Village of Elwood is strategically located in the heart of Will County, one of the fastest growing counties in the nation. Elwood began as a small farming community. The year 1859 marked the building of the Baptist Church, now the Masonic Lodge #919, which still stands and is located on Chicago Street. In 1895, the Presbyterian Church was built on Mississippi Avenue and Chicago Street. It was later named the Elwood Community Church.”
