If you live in the western suburbs and have an interest in history, I would recommend it! The museum provides a quaint and eye opening view into the history of Downers Grove and the impact the original settlers had on the the foundation of the Western Suburbs.
Visited on a weekday afternoon. Quiet but nice. Beautiful grounds. The curator was nice and have us a personal tour. Zach was his name, I think. I really enjoyed the exhibit in the barn taking about the local history and finding of Downers Grove.
Great place with local history. Important explanation of Indian boundary line.
A nice little local museum. You can tell its getting started and still getting its footing. Meet with the curator, Zach, and he gave us a personal tour of both buildings. Had a very good time. Looking forward to their holiday displays.
Great place to get the feel of 1890s living. Good personal history of the Downer Family & marriage ties.
Nice rotating exhibits. Good library with well organized files for researching Downers Grove history and ancestors.
Self-guided, read-it-yourself tour. Beautiful house and grounds
Grwt for the local history buff. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Very nice.
A cute place.
Boring
