Went on a public holiday. It wasn't too crowded, but plenty of other visitors. Our favorite part was probably the tour of the 150 year old Kennicott home. The blacksmith shop was in use at the time. The old school house was nice but locked with no view inside. The log cabin the family lived in for the first 20 years was also locked, but could see everything through the windows. There is lots of other stuff to see just walking around. Great spot to explore more than once.
Loved visiting this fantastic nature preserve so well maintained by the Glenview Park district and others. The history of this place, the buildings on site are vivid. The information center museum (of sorts) was fantastic. Spotted a bunch of birds. Wish some of the historical buildings were open to the public. There's no entry fee which is amazing.
It’s the perfect spot for some short hiking trails, we saw several chipmunks and birds at close range, the buildings are gorgeous and the live animals were a big hit in the history center.
This place is Awesome I Always have a great walk and Great time every time I'm there I connect with Nature and Enjoy my me time and my Family and Friends have Enjoyed There wonderful outdoors what a Historical Atmosphere and so much to learn and fun for the kids when there is a Event .
I always love to walk around the inside to visit Big Al the Alligator Snapping Turtle hes about 100 yrs. Old,, it is so peaceful when you go early in morning.
