Downers Grove Heritage Preservation Corporation (DGHPC) is a non-profit organization based in Downers Grove, Illinois, dedicated to preserving the historic buildings and sites in the community. The organization was founded in 1999 by a group of local residents who were concerned about the rapid development and loss of historic landmarks in the area.

The DGHPC works to identify, acquire, preserve, and protect historic properties in the community. The organization also promotes public awareness of the value of historic preservation and provides educational programs and resources for residents, students, and visitors.

One of the main projects of DGHPC is the restoration and preservation of the historic Downers Grove Main Street train station, which was built in 1901 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The organization also owns and maintains other historic properties in the community, including the Downers Grove Museum and the Victorian Blodgett House.

DGHPC is run by a volunteer board of directors and relies on donations and grants to fund its preservation projects and educational programs. The organization works closely with local government agencies and other community organizations to promote the preservation and appreciation of Downers Grove's rich history and heritage.
