Garfield Farm & Inn Museum, 2N930 Garfield Road in Campton Hills, will be host to its annual Candlelight at the Inn, Sunday, Dec. 8 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.. The open house will feature the 1840s-living-history farm and the 47 years of efforts to preserve and present northern Illinois’ settlement and farming history amidst the once great Illinois prairie.
There will be music and light refreshments in the restored 1846 brick inn and a bake sale in the 1840s Atwell Burr House will be offered.
It is a favorite event of the museum’s members and is a great opportunity for people to learn of the project’s 47-year record and ongoing efforts of restoration and preservation. Donations are most needed as the museum is in the midst of a $4 million campaign to complete the restoration and preservation of the site. For information call 630 584-8485 or email info@garfieldfarm.org.
