Welcome to Cantigny Park
Cantigny: An Extraordinary Gift
In his will, Robert R. McCormick (1880-1955) specified that his beloved Cantigny estate be maintained “as a public park and museum for the recreation, instruction and welfare of the people of the State of Illinois.”
Cantigny, located in Wheaton and named by McCormick for the little village in France where he fought in World War I, was the Colonel’s gift to the community. And what a gift it has turned out to be!
Something special is always happening at Cantigny. It’s a popular venue for festivals, workshops, lectures, concerts, reunions, school trips, banquets, weddings and other activities. Permanent features include nearly 30 acres of gardens, two history-rich museums and 27 holes of championship golf. All 500 acres are yours to enjoy and explore.
In the park or on the links, we hope to see you at Cantigny soon!
