Dairy Day
Explore life on a dairy farm in the early 1900s!
Visitors will participate in a dairy-themed scavenger hunt, win delicious ice cream, try milking Maggie the Milking Cow, see a live cow and explore a hay maze. Guided covered wagon rides along part of the “milk and newspaper run” of the former CA&E Railroad route will highlight the history of dairy farming in the region.
A costumed interpreter portraying Marion McCormick, who purchased the property with her husband, Chauncey, in 1926, will share stories from the farm’s early days and explain how St. James Farm set the benchmark for dairy farms throughout the Midwest.
This is a free, all-ages event, that features something for everyone! More info at forest preserve website.
