The first piece of property for this Forest Preserve was purchased in 1965. While looking for this cache, you will step back in time and experience what life was like on a DuPage County Farm in the 1890s. This preserve will lead through restored farmstead structures and meet the historically-costumed interpreters operating this living-history farm using the tools and techniques of the past
The cache you are looking for is a clear container. Please note that parts of this preserve has special hours. The preserve around the farm, visitor center restrooms are all open daily one hour after sunrise until one hour after sunset. Do not cross any fences or closed gates to access this cache.

The 2013 Geocache Passport Challenge is now complete. We no longer have 2013 geocoins to hand out for geocachers with complete passports. As of writing this, there are no plans to create more coins. All caches involved with the 2013 Geocache Passport Challenge will have their sitckers and extra passports removed. Please feel free to enjoy this cache and the preserve it is in! Thanks!
