Vernon Hills is the home of the Cuneo Museum, a converted mansion that was built in 1914 by Samuel Insull, founder of the Commonwealth Edison Company. The mansion remained in the family until the death of Cuneo's widow in 1990, and is now an art museum. Part of the 1997 film, My Best Friend's Wedding, starring Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, was filmed at the mansion.
