Willoughby Heritage Farm and Conservation Reserve
Description
A public park, Willoughby Heritage Farm and Conservation Reserve is a facility of the Collinsville Area Recreation District. There is no fee to visit the farm except during programs or special events. Step into Midwestern family farming of the 1930-1950s. Willoughby Heritage Farm is more than just a piece of property. As part of the Collinsville Area Recreation District (CARD), the land has become a place where the history comes to life through historic structures, original tools, replica gardens and a restored environment. Along with the barns, farm tools and live animals, farm staff and volunteers have created over three miles of hiking trails in the woodland and prairie and areas for children to play. CARD holds special events and programs for adults and children at the farm throughout the year. Visit the website for details. Remember -- Willoughby Farm is a PUBLIC park and is open to everyone!
