Note: The Mansion Grounds are closed after 5:00 p.m. The Hegeler Carus Mansion is an architectural masterpiece and a key to the rich history of the Illinois Valley, the Midwest and the nation. Located near Starved Rock State Park, the mansion has remained virtually unaltered since its completion more than a century ago. This cache was placed here with permission. Make sure to record the 4 digit code found inside the cache into your Illinois River Road geocaching log book and guide.
