Warhol Pop-Art Challenge

Lombard participated in the DuPage Warhol Pop-Art Challenge and identified four notable faces from Lombard, which were transformed into bright and colorful Warhol-style pop art - as shown below. Lombard's pop art pieces will soon be placed on display at 109. S Main St for public viewing and can also be found inside the Sheldon Peck Homestead at 355 E Parkside Ave and the Lombard Historical Society Carriage House at 23 W Maple St. 

Little Orphan Annie 
Little Orphan Annie, a spunky curly-red-haired 11-year-old orphan, was immortalized in a 1924 Chicago Tribune comic strip by Lombardian Harold Gray.

Sheldon Peck 
Sheldon Peck (1797–1868) was a radical abolitionist and an itinerant folk artist. The Peck Homestead is a verified stop on the Underground Railroad. 

Daniel Tani 
In 2001 and 2007, NASA astronaut Lombardian Dan Tani reached the International Space  Station, becoming one of the few chosen to walk among the stars. 

Ellen Martin 
On April 6, 1891, Lombard attorney Ellen Martin became the first woman to vote in Illinois. Martin based her claim on the words of the town charter.
