Event details
Experience Riverview Farmstead like never before. First hop in a kayak to paddle the DuPage River upstream, then paddle back. Naturalists will point out the sounds and sights of the river wildlife. We then will venture on land to explore the historic Riverview Farmstead, including the limestone house and timber frame barn. The adventure will end around a campfire, swapping stories while roasting hotdogs and s'mores!
