We are 5 minutes south of Lake Carroll, 20 minutes east of the Mississippi River, and 2 hours west of Chicago. The city is known for its stately trees, historic, picturesque business district and magnificent homes, both old and new.".A detailed and well written website today shows that Lanark maintains a long tradition of thoroughness in civic expression. Just about 100 photos in the booklet, some printed in color ink, show every corner of the small town including downtown streets (no motor cars), every church (with histories), businesses, private homes, and the town band. .Photos of sufficient detail to allow some enlargement.
