Experience The Grove! A National Historic Landmark and Illinois Nature Preserve
Dear Friends of The Grove,
The Grove is a veritable wonderland in the winter! Enjoy a refreshing walk in the woods then warm up in the Interpretive Center with a variety of programs for visitors of all ages. Learn about hawks and owls in our Science Room, bring your little ones out to discover turtles and bears, or meet Cora, our resident skunk. And, it's not too early to think ahead to summer. We offer camp opportunities for kids of all ages. Take a look at the slideshow below to see how much fun our campers have!
Summer Camp Fun
The Grove is a great place for children of all ages to explore. Camps include:
New this year-sign up for either 4-week session, or sign up for the entire 8-weeks! Summer Camp registration is going on now for residents and

Celebrate the anniversary of the Kennicott family's arrival to The Grove. Join The Grove Heritage Association for a lively presentation and refreshments at the Glenview Public Library, 1930 Prairie Street. For questions contact ghamembers@gmail.com
Come shop the best collection of vintage and upcycled treasures on the north shore at the beautiful historic grounds of The Grove! 50+ vendors, GHA plant sale, product demos, live music and food trucks. Tickets $5 in advance, $8 at the door. Presented in partnership with Vintage Nest of Glenview.
Enjoy the award-winning artwork of painter, sculptor and author Dennis Downes whose work will be on exhibit at The Redfield Estate. Admission is free and a portion of all sales support The Grove.
Foodies beware-hardtack is not something for the discriminating palate. Learn about this Civil War food staple and get the recipe to make and taste your own hardtack...if you dare.
We hope to see you out at The Grove to enjoy this special time of year. Don't forget that our museum store is open daily from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and offers a variety of books, gifts and specialty items for the nature or history lover.
