My DuPage County Superlatives

Last Updated on November 7, 2019

Just like that, my year long ambassadorship with DuPage County is coming to an end. When I first started in this role, I hadn’t explored much beyond my hometown haunts, but just seven months later, I became a permanent resident. With the support of the members of Discover DuPage, I learned about so many gems of DuPage County that I had never known. As such, I’d like to share my DuPage County superlatives, sharing the best spots in this slice of Chicago suburban heaven.
