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!

Cantigny is a 500-acre (2.0 km2) park in Wheaton, Illinois, 30 miles west of Chicago. The land was acquired by Joseph Medill as a country estate, which he called Red Oaks, in the late 1800s. After his death, the estate passed to his grandson, Colonel McCormick. Colonel McCormick served in World War I and saw action at the Battle of Cantigny. After returning home, he renamed the estate in honor of the battle.
During World War I, Colonel McCormick served with the First Division of the United States Army—also known as the Big Red One. Colonel McCormick provided an endowment for the First Division Museum. The museum has exhibits and artifacts chronicling the First Division's service history, not only in World War I, but also in World War II and later U.S. wars.
On display outside the museum is the area's largest collection of tanks and artillery pieces, known as Tank Park. The collection includes tanks and armored vehicles from the First World War up to the present day.
