Tour the original Clow family farmstead, built in the mid-1800s, at a special preview night event. The event is hosted by the Forest Preserve District of Will County, Naperville Mayor George Pradel, and the Riverview Farmstead preview host committee. Guests will get an up-close view of the exteriors of the limestone house, an up-close view of the exteriors of the limestone house, an early frame residence that had been converted to a barn, and a large timber frame barn. Attendees will also learn how the site will eventually be used to reconnect people to Will County's agricultural past and where their food comes from. Ticket price includes food, drinks, and entertainment, with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the restoration of the site. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit the
