Kline Creek Farm, sitting within the 1,102-acre Timber Ridge Forest Preserve in Winfield, is a living-history farm depicting farm life as it was on this site and hundreds of others like it in 1890s DuPage County. Its purpose is to explore what life was like here over a century ago. Toward that end, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County has combined original structures, authentic re-creations, livestock and historically accurate activities into a realistic 1890s DuPage County working farm.

"Gotta love a free farm"

This place is a big small as far as coming back again and again, but it's a great place to have in your back pocket. And as long as you find out their event schedule, you can take advantage of those opportunities as well. They have a small farm area where you can see some of the animals. You could also take a short guided tour of the Kline family farm house and learn their history.

"free in the burbs"

This is a great place for a weekday.  haven't been here on the weekends yet.  throughout the year they have seasonal acitivities for the kids too.  my daughter got to watch them collect the eggs from the hen house.  you can tour the old cottage and get a brief history lesson.  i've also seen older kids planting things in the spring/summer.
