Walnut Grove Farm Guest House

Walnut Grove Farm is an historic farm that offers visitors a unique glimpse into life of 100 years ago. Coming to the farm can enrich your life today. The historic barn can be rented for weddings or other family festivities. Walnut Grove Farm floral designers can provide flowers for your special occasions anywhere. Reserve a night, weekend, or week at the Walnut Grove Farm Guest House. Guest House Gift Certificates are great gift items!

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.

The Walnut Grove Farm Guest House is a turn-of-the-century bungalow that is comfy, eclectic and artsy. It can be yours for a focused work retreat, a romantic get a way, or a family adventure in the heartland. History, homespun fun and hospitality await you here in rural Knox County!

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.
