To the Editor:

My family recently utilized the Pickerill-Pigott House in the Pickerill-Pigott forest preserve for a private function and I can not praise this facility enough. What a wonderful site for the Yorkville and Kendall County area to have for the community.

The house provides a great indoor meeting area with full kitchen and sheltered patio and the surrounding forest gives a peaceful environment with great hiking trails.

The Kendall County Forest Preserve staff, most particularly Julia Granholm, made the rental and use of this facility a breeze and a pleasure.

This is truly a Yorkville gem that deserves to be in the visitor’s guide.
