History

Winter at Muirhead Farmhouse

The Muirhead family was among the first settlers in Kane County, establishing their farmstead on its current site in 1860. By the late 1940's, then owners Robert and Elizabeth Muirhead felt they had outgrown the original farmhouse and wanted something better suited for their growing family of five children. The result was a Usonian-style home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Mr. Wright thought a house should be designed to reflect the individual requirements of its occupants. The Muirhead's had many discussions with the architect as to what they wanted and needed in a farm home.

The Muirhead home remains in the family today and has recently undergone extensive restoration. In addition to the home, the surrounding 800 acres of farmland is also being restored. Purchased by the Kane County Forest Preserve, the land is now being prepared for planting with native prairie wildflowers and grasses.
