Kline Creek Farm

Reviewed By 866TaylorB - Chicago, United States

When I lived in Wheaton and Glen Ellyn in the late 1960s and early 1970s, for whatever reason, I never took advantage of the many sight-seeing opportunities available to me in the western suburbs. Now that I live on the Gold Coast in downtown Chicago, I take advantage of every opportunity. Like Kline Creek Farm in West Chicago. It's like taking a step back in time, exploring and experiencing what life was like on a Du Page County farm in the 1890s. Located at 1N600 Country Farm Road, in the Timber Ridge Forest Preserve, it represents 19th century farm activities, such as baking, canning, planting, harvesting, sheep shearing, quilting, spring cleaning and ice cutting, even beekeeping, through programs designed for individuals, families and groups. Visitors are encouraged to begin their tour at the Timber Ridge Visitor Center, which offers exhibits of the 1890s and the agricultural heritage of Du Page County. Then stroll through restored farmstead structures and meet the historically costumed interpreters who explain the living history of the farm using tools and techniques of the past. The farmhouse was the center of domestic activities and today contains original artifacts and reproductions that enhance its homelike atmosphere. Interestingly, beekeeping is a longstanding tradition at Klein Creek Farm, dating to 1984. In fact, the sale of honey at the Visitor Center helps to support farm programs and operations. The farm is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Monday.

I can remember being taken there as a young child with the rest of my brothers and sisters... My son and his friend would sneak on to the rear berm with an FM radio and watch the movies from the weeds. We lost another part of Americana when this closed
