Schaumburg Township Historical Sites accessible to the public

​
The 1872 Schaumburg Centre Public School, located on St. Peter Lutheran Church property, was moved in 1981 from its previous site, north of Schaumburg Road and west of Roselle Road, to its current home. The building belongs to the Village of Schaumburg which leases the land from St. Peter Lutheran Church for 99 years.  The Schaumburg Township Historical Society, which is a not-for-profit organization, takes care of the interior of the building and holds open house events for the public.  The schoolhouse is open Memorial Day, and typically on the second Sunday of each month, June through September.  It's also available for private tours.  For open house calendar dates, just click on the Upcoming Events tab at the top of this page. 


The old, brick St. Peter Lutheran Church and original, white frame 1847 church which serves as St. Peter Church Museum belong to and are maintained by St. Peter Lutheran Church.  The church museum is open to the public on Memorial Day.  Please contact the church at 202 E. Schaumburg Road for access at other times by appointment.  


The Sunderlage Farmhouse, built in 1856, Sunderlage Smokehouse, and Greve Cemetery are owned and maintained by the Village of Hoffman Estates.  The Hoffman Estates Historical Sites commission oversees the use of the building and is responsible for the preservation and documentation of historical sites.  The HEHSC has four scheduled public events yearly at the farmhouse.  The building is open monthly for public meetings of the HSC and is also available for private rental.  The cemetery, which is located in a residential neighborhood, is locked and can be visited during the April and October cemetery tours or by appointment.  Please Call Hoffman Estates Boards and Commissions secretary at (847) 781-2606.
