The Grove
The Grove National Historic Landmark, located in Glenview, is as rich in flora and fauna as it is in history. Once home to Illinois' pioneering naturalist, Robert Kennicott, The Grove is 150 acres of ecologically diverse prairie grove land, and includes the 1856 Kennicott House and the 1929 Redfield Estate. The Kennicott Archives collections includes over 28,000 pages of original letters and documents, over 5,000 photographs, and hundreds of artifacts related to the Kennicott, Redfield, and Peattie family history from the earliest 19th century through today.
