Members of the Yorkville, Plano and Sandwich Chambers of Commerce visited the Farnsworth House near Plano for a celebratory ribbon cutting.

Farnsworth House completed installation of a new kayak and canoe landing. Kayak and canoe paddlers are invited to utilize the landing on the grounds of Farnsworth House near the confluence of the Rob Roy Creek and the Fox River.

Following the ribbon cutting, guests were invited to tour the Farnsworth House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The decor is temporarily refurnished to that of Dr. Edith Farnsworth’s country retreat circa 1955 in celebration of her life and times. Follow Farnsworth House on Facebook or Instagram (@FarnsworthHouse) to stay up to date on fall and winter happenings.
