About Historic Wagner Farm

Historic Wagner Farm is a working farm and teaching site owned and operated by the Glenview Park District. Visitors can learn about food production, farm life, and agricultural history through educational programs, historic displays, and seasonal activities. The farm grows crops and keeps dairy cows, draft horses, chickens, pigs, and lambs. A new Centennial Farm Exhibit opened in February 2026, showing a century of farming change through artifacts, historic tractors, and hands-on features. The 18.6-acre property is one of the few remaining farms in north suburban Cook County.
