Step back in time as you explore the historic farmsteads dating to the late 1800s at this site. A rare gabled-roofed farmhouse remains, one of the last of its style in DuPage County, along with a massive wood-planked German barn dating back to 1890, if not earlier. The worn fieldstone foundation of another vintage barn can still be spotted. In the 1920s, Chauncey and Marion McCormick acquired the property, pursuing their passion for horses by building colonial-style red brick stables with imported English iron posts. To support their award-winning herd of Guernsey cows, they constructed an innovative dairy barn with spacious stalls and various outbuildings that set the standard for Midwest farmers. Later, their son Brooks and wife Hope erected the indoor arena that hosted equestrian events and a therapeutic riding program. Today, this charming arena with idyllic river birch views can be rented out for small gatherings, letting you experience the rich agricultural history of this special place.

​Memorial Park is located just north of downtown Wheaton. It was constructed in 1921 and is the city's oldest park. In 2020, it got a renovation, and now the state-of-the-art bandshell, a Veterans Memorial, and the Lions Terrace are in tip-top shape. It is lively all summer with events like the Summer Entertainment Series, Cream of Wheaton, Shakespeare in the Park, and HOPtober Fest. The facilities are clean, and this little park is a great place to stop.
