11042 Front Street is a building that has stood, since the years following the Civil War, as a silent witness to the history of our Mokena. This building was home to the first Mokena Pharmacy and was built by a German who was described by locals as, “fat and jolly and possessed of a merry whistle”.
Through its later years it was home to the Mokena Post Office, was almost lost to a fire in 1905 and was raided during the time of prohibition. You won’t believe what they found and who owned the building at the time!
