ABOUT GARFIELD FARM
Located
on Route 38 in LaFox Illinois, just 5 miles west of Geneva, this farm
was originally part of the Timothy Garfield 1840's claim. It went to
his third son Edward upon Timothy's death in 1859 and to the
Mongerson brothers in the 1930s. Through the support of willing
sellers, foundations, government agencies, and hundreds of donors, the
Garfield Farm and Tavern Museum was able to purchase it in 2002 to
protect most of the original Timothy Garfield farm for perpetuity. See
map for additional directions
