#91001687)

Delavan has preserved much of its historic architecture, and unlike many cities in the area
it can be easily recognized in a turn of the century photograph. Delavan's vision is to preserve the
past, and incorperated it into a city that can serve the needs of a modern community.
Part of the process of continued preservation of these landmarks and structures
is recognition by the National Register or Historical Places. Delavan has many fine examples on display for visitors who are
interested in the history of early Illinois.
