    It's unfortunate that Deerfield Historic Village has such limited hours as the buildings have great…read moredisplays within them with lots of details about the history and a broad timeframe of history covered between them. The Caspar Ott Log House really takes you back to 1837 with an impressive array of items such as a bed, dresser, toys, chairs, table, and other items from the area. This is definitely impressive in the comprehensiveness and presentation, as well as being the oldest standing building in Lake County. Outside of Volo Auto Museum, I'm not sure if I've seen as many antique vehicles and farm equipment as there is in the Carriage House. It's a really great experience to be able to view these magnificent vehicles up close and see all the unique details that went into their construction. I also enjoyed seeing the large selection of historical farming tools. The Sack House has a wonderful assortment of items from the early 1900's, once again really giving me a feel for what life may have looked like back then with an impressive assortment of art, common household items, fully furnished bedrooms, and lots of signs with explanations The Brand Luther House has a nice visitors center with a neat set of displays that show an eclectic mix of history covering everything from music to Sara Lee. The volunteers here were very helpful in explaining some details in different buildings. Finally, the Little Red Schoolhouse is a neat replica of a one-room school house complete with small desks, a stove, old books and map. Though it was built in 1981, the old furnishings and items really give a feeling of stepping back in time. Overall, definitely worth a visit for any history lover. A great free experience with well designed displays.

    The historic village in downtown deerfield is home to various historic cabins which rest on a small…read moreplot of land. The historically society opens the doors to the cabins Sundays during the summer months and pulls out the old wagons and lets you tour the inside of each dwelling. The volunteers are helpful and offer some history for those who inquire. It's not a site I would go out of my way to visit or recommend but a nice piece of history to walk thru if you happen upon it while strolling around deerfield.

    I recently took a hike in this area and passed by this Nature Center several times during the hike…read moreand decided to stop in. I was pleasantly surprised at how many different things there were to do here, but indoors and outdoors. Outdoors I was able to see a variety of animals including a coyote, owl, hawk, eagle, kestrel, and fox. Though they were caged, I got to see them fairly up close and hear the different sounds that they make. Indoors, there were various interactive exhibits as well as live turtles and various educational displays. Overall this is definitely worth a visit if you're hiking in the area and want to see a nicely maintained and educational display that helps to explain some of the wildlife nearby.

    The staff at River Trails are great, the woods, river, and trails are great, and we look forward to…read moreevery visit to River Trails. River Trails has many programs at the Nature Center and in the woods surrounding it. Lots of great native gardens to attract pollinators like bumble bees and humming birds. The trails take you through maple heavy woods that put on spectacular color shows as the leaves turn in the fall. Fall Fest draws hundreds of visitors who watch re-enactments from the fur trapping days when the Des Plaines River was a super-highway for Native Americans and European trappers alike. They also show how to tap the Maple tress to make syrup. River Trails has something for everyone, whether you want to see bee hives, hike a trail, or learn about the local plant and animal communities. Definitely a place to spend a day!

    There was a family event here so we decided to come check the place out. Even though my kiddo is…read moreonly two, she liked seeing some of the stuff they had on exhibit and they also had coloring pages and whatnot. We got here near the tail end of the event, so we didn't spend much time inside and went walking along the little trail where they had signs up with information about turkeys spread out through a little loop around the woods. It's a lovely preserve, and I'll bet it's particularly beautiful in the spring and summer. The building is small but sufficient to have some programs and there are bathrooms here. There are a few outbuildings as well; I'm not sure if there are programs there too or not. There's a good deal of parking here. Keep an eye on their calendar to have an excuse to come out, or just spend some time wandering the trails in peace and quiet.

    This place is stunning. My neighbor told me about it and I promptly took a drive up here that…read moreafternoon just a few days after "peak" fall colors. It's amazing. I wasn't adequately prepared because it was a spur of the moment decision, so I didn't have a jacket or warm enough clothes, so I didn't stay or walk around too long. (And sadly their giftshop didn't have any sweatshirts -- I would've bought one if they had because it would've solved my problem. So, note to Ryerson: sell sweatshirts in the fall!). I've since come back here for an art exhibit (see my review on the Brushwood Center page for that info). I cannot wait to return again in the spring and definitely multiple times next fall. I want to explore it all.

    Sunderlage Farmhouse - Schaumburg Township Historical Society

    I ran into a gentleman at the bar the other day who is involved in several local historical…read moresocieties and informed me of this farmhouse. With nothing to do on an early Sunday morning and with it being only about a mile and a half from my apartment, I figured why not? I am a huge history nerd after all. Hell, who am I kidding? I am a nerd in general. The small grounds and farmhouse look VERY out of place in it's location. It is nestled amongst the cookie cutter suburban housing that is typical of this area, along with cheesy condos and man made lakes. It would be about like opening up a Nieman Marcus chain in the middle of Englewood. The farmhouse was constructed in the mid 1800's and it was passed around to numerous private owners before being snatched up by the Hoffman Estates Historical Commission in the 1970's. This is a pretty typical scenario for houses like this. Private owners think it is oh so epic to live in a historical property until the harsh reality of the expense in keeping one up makes them eventually give up. I know a couple of people back home who purchased a similar house and the heating bills alone are a small fortune. That said, the architecture and layout is stunning, and somebody obviously parted with a great deal of coin to restore this place. Best I can tell, there is no regularly scheduled tours of the inside. The city does claim they host 4 events at the property per year, but there is no mention as to when said events occur. The historical commission itself holds their monthly meetings at the farmhouse, and also offer up the property for use for weddings and such. Directly behind the farmhouse is the Sunderlage Smokehouse, which actually predates the house itself by a couple of decades and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, being one of the only structures of it's type in Illinois. There is also the ancient Greeve Cemetery located nearby at Abbeywood and Liberty streets, but the gate is locked and it can only be accessed by appointment. If you are in the area and are into historical properties or urban exploration, it is worth it to stop by and check the place out.
