Walnut Grove Farm Guest House

Historic Walnut Grove Farm was homesteaded in 1835 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. In the heart of the Illinois prairie, you can rest & relax or envision what life was like on a 19th century farm or observe Knox County farm life as it happens every day. Many things have changed a lot, some things very little.

While we have fall special events at the farm, lodging at the Guest House offers a more personalized farm experience. A continental breakfast is provided in the Guest House kitchen, which also has a full size stove and refrigerator, cooking utensils and tableware, making personal food preparation possible. Built in the 1920's, we have sought to reflect that era with many of the furnishings. It is a two-bedroom bungalow with a full bath, a living room, dining room and kitchen. There is a phone with a data port and a TV for VHS movies. Rooms in the house are rented only to members of the same party. The farm is conveniently located within a mile of Knoxville Illinois, and five miles from Galesburg.
