The city of Litchfield Park is moving forward with a project to revitalize the historic 20-acre La Loma Homestead, the former retreat of city founder Paul W. Litchfield.

The property, gifted to the city by Edith and Wally Denny in 2008, will become a cultural hub for arts, education, and history. The revitalization plan focuses on preserving the site’s historic structures while introducing modern features that will serve the community.

“For many years, I’ve been working on building up the development situation, so the city is sustainable. We have the property because the Litchfield family wanted to make sure the property was used in a way that was consistent with what Paul Litchfield envisioned back in the 1920s — a cultural and performing arts area,” said Litchfield Park Mayor Thomas Shoaf.
