- Synopsis
- Waukegan, Illinois has a long history, with a rich and varied heritage. Countless individuals, businesses, and organizations have contributed to that heritage, and continue today to contribute to the legacy of this community. One of Waukegan's most notable citizens was Jack Benny. Throughout his long career he regularly cited his hometown and its influence on him, and he often contributed to the city with his many appearances. But he wasn't the only person to bring fame to Waukegan. Edward Amet's motion picture projector and Johnson's outboard motors made Waukegan memorable in the minds of millions. And Louise Dekoven Bowen's generosity is a source of pride to its residents.
