Deerfield IL - Historic Village

I have driven down Deerfield Road for years and noticed the buildings and always thought someday I'll have to research this or stop by and see what this is all about. Well last Sunday my girls and I went exploring and had a great time!

Deerfield's Historic Village, part of the Deerfield Historic Society is a mini version of Napersettlement. A self guided visit to the past has much for the interested child and parent at heart. You can tour two log houses, a farm house, horse carriage stables and our personal favorite...the school house.

My daughters had so much fun exploring every nook and cranny AND playing school marm! We spent the most time in the school house just in time for a new school year.

Admission is free but they love contributions too. Open for your  own tours every Sunday June through September from 2 - 4pm. For school and group tours call  847-948-0680.
