Travel - In Your Backyard

"A Glimpse of the Past: Kline Creek Farm"
Winfield, Illinois
http://www.dupageforest.com/EDUCATION/klinecreek.html

 

Kline Creek Farm is a 1890s DuPage County working farm nestled on 1,110 acres in the Timber Ridge Forest Preserve.  The farm provides visitors with a unique glimpse into history.  The area has a house, barn, animals, garden and numerous educational activities that educate visitors about the life of farming in the 1890s.

Visit the web-site provided above for details about the educational programs and specifics about the farm.  The day we visited, interpreters were showing us how women baked cakes.  What a tough job!  No mix masters or convenient box mixes.

Melissa Hamilton discovered she appreciates the conveniences of the 21st century after visiting Kline Creek Farm!

Horses fulfilled an important role on farms.  The fellow in this photograph is taking a break from his work!


 

 

Farm life was hard work for families.  The ladies in the lower right photograph are tending to the garden.  The main house is just behind the two ladies.
