Description
A beautiful summer afternoon at St. James Farm in Warrenville, Illinois. Part of the DuPage County Forest Preserve System, St. James has beautiful grounds, hiking trails and small lakes in an idyllic woodland setting.
According to dupageforest.org, the first Europeans to settle on this land were farmers, and several structures from late-1800s farmsteads remain, including a gabled-roof-and-wing farmhouse, one of the last of its kind in DuPage County. A massive wood-planked German-style barn with cantilevered floors dates back to 1890, if not earlier, as do the remains of another barn’s fieldstone foundation. See www.dupageforest.org for more interesting information about St. James Farm.
