What Makes Yorkville Unique?

• U.S. National Register of Historic Places - The Kendall County Courthouse is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Adjacent to the downtown commercial district, served as the anchor and people generator of the day. Many of the city’s remaining historic single-family homes are found within walking distance of Bridge Street, the courthouse and Union Hall. It was resident Earl Adams who started it all. He built his cabin on Courthouse Hill on the south side of town in 1833. One year later, Lyman and Burr Bristol set up residency in neighboring Bristol, north of the river.
• The Chapel On The Green - the oldest church building in the county. The Kendall County Historical Society acquired the building in 1990 after a new Congregational Church was completed. The 1855 structure features stained glass windows and an 1899 pipe organ. Architecturally, the New England design reflects the heritage of our early settlers.
