Cantigny Park and the area is a great place to go for a ice walk in nature, visit an ornate mansion, and learn about military history. It’s got to be one of the top places to visit in the Chicago west suburbs.

To this day, some people aren't aware that the world-famous evangelist Billy Graham began his ministry as a student at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. The Billy Graham Center Museum, opened in 1980, is designed to help visitors "extend their understanding of the good news about Jesus" and contains exhibits about the history of Christian evangelism in the United States and the ministry of Billy Graham. Located at 500 College Avenue on the Wheaton College campus, is is open from 10 to 5 Tuesday through Saturday. It also is the primary location for many of the college's Bible and theology classes. It is a family-oriented museum with rare artifacts and interactive displays that begin with the early history of Christian evangelism and its influence on American society and climax with a powerful walk-through presentation of the Gospel message. The museum, which consists of 20,000 square feet of permanent and temporary exhibit space, starts with the Rotunda of Witnesses, which houses nine stunning tapestries depicting great witnesses for the Gospel, and proceeds to the History of Evangelism in America, then the Cross of the Millennium, the Life and Ministry of Billy Graham and Walk through the Gospel. Another interesting exhibit is the Life of George Beverly Shea, the beloved singer at Graham's crusades around the world.

Visited Herrick Lake Forest Preserve in Wheaton a few times for hiking and bike riding in November. This forest preserve has a wide range of wonderful recreational opportunities. Options include birding, hiking, biking, kayaking, and picnics. I enjoyed the wooded trail that traverses next to two lakes . The crushed stone trail is about 5 miles long (one way) from Herrick Lake to adjacent Danada Forest Preserve. Bike ride on the wide trail over rolling hills and next to several lakes was thoroughly enjoyable. Herrick Lake Forest Preserve is an awesome place to enjoy being outdoors. There are several picnic shelters. I will certainly visit again to enjoy the scenery during changing seasons.
