Located in Wheaton, Ill., this sprawling, 500-acre park is where families wander through nature, get lost in history, play golf at an award-winning course, attend a big band concert, tag monarch butterflies, make a snow globe, take classes, introduce children to the age-old custom of afternoon tea, attend a wide variety of special programs and events --in short, spend quality time together.
In addition to vast formal gardens and picnic and camping grounds, Cantigny offers two history-rich museums: the pride inducing First Division Museum (Army) and the insightful Robert R. McCormick Museum ... both fascinating for children and researchers alike.
