In addition to our natural heritage, Downers Grove enjoys an immense cultural heritage, with widely varied neighborhoods, historic buildings and sites. Prince Pond as well as  the historic Prince subdivision harkens back to an earlier period of Downers Grove.  The downtown business district reflects small town life with modern amenities. 

The Pierce Downers Heritage Alliance is a founding member of the Downers Grove Coalition for Managed Redevelopment, an organization dedicated to managing redevelopment in Downers Grove in a way that promotes growth while maintaining our rich cultural, architectural, and natural heritage, as well as our economic prosperity. Our mission is to establish a common voice that assists in the management of growth in our community
