Life in Lisle.
Lisle grew up around its BNSF station, and its 1874 depot is now part of the Museums at Lisle Station Park. The Morton Arboretum, with 1,700 acres of trees, gardens and trails, sits on the village's north side along Route 53, and Benedictine University and St. Procopius Abbey are on the south.
The Morton Arboretum is the big draw, and the Lisle Park District runs parks along the East Branch of the DuPage River.
