Wilmette is an affluent village located in Cook County, Illinois, along the shores of Lake Michigan, approximately 14 miles north of downtown Chicago. This North Shore community, established in the 1870s, is known for its well-preserved historical architecture and tree-lined streets.

The village is home to the iconic Bahá'í House of Worship, the oldest surviving Bahá'í temple in the world and the only one in North America. This architectural masterpiece, completed in 1953, features intricate lace-like ornamentation and serves as both a spiritual center and a significant cultural landmark.

The community maintains a strong emphasis on education and the arts, supported by its proximity to Northwestern University in neighboring Evanston. The Wilmette Historical Museum, housed in a 1896 building, preserves and presents the area's rich local history. The village's downtown district features a mix of local businesses, restaurants, and cultural venues that contribute to its vibrant community life.
