🏘️ Community
Fredenhagen Park near North Central College honors local generosity with gardens and tributes to Grace and Walter Fredenhagen.
The historic site remains beloved for graduations, weddings, and quiet walks (reflecting its longstanding role in inspiring community connection).
A new plaque honoring Harold and Margaret Moser was installed last month at the statue by Moser Tower to help passersby learn their full story and legacy.
The Naperville Park District approved the display to highlight the couple's significant community contributions.
