Farnsworth House
In the farmlands outside Chicago, renowned architect Ludwig Mies van der
Rohe created a timeless masterpiece along the Fox River. Mies' vision of a
modern shelter, set in
nature, is expressed with absolute purity and
intensity. His serene steel and glass weekend retreat for Dr. Edith
Farnsworth belies its controversial history and its dramatic rescue by
preservation groups.
Meticulously restored and open to the public, it's an architectural pilgrimage site, attracting design professionals and house enthusiasts from around the world. It is unlike any house you have ever experienced.
Bring your group this fall and experience the Farnsworth House!

Flashback to prehistoric days in the Mastodon Gallery and Visitors Center. Phillips Park Visitors Center & Mastodon Gallery showcases the mastodon bones that were unearthed in the park during a 1934 Civil Works Administration Project. The skull being the largest of the artifacts, weighs 188 pounds. The bones, estimated to be between 10,000 to 20,000 years old, include a 92-pound lower jaw, a 6-foot-long tusk, ribs and vertebrae. In addition, you'll find enlarged photographs and a detailed history time line related to the discovery, as well as displays highlighting the history of Phillips Park, the Sunken Garden and the Phillips Park Zoo.
For the multi generational traveler, new improvements include so much more than historic "crown jewels". Take the grand children and enjoy the splash pad or Chicagoland's premier BMX/Skate park.
