My DuPage County Superlatives

Last Updated on November 7, 2019 by JaimeSays

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.

My Favorite Green Spaces of DuPage County
