Fischer Farm is believed to be one of the oldest remaining homesteads in the county. Through the years, the Fischer's built barns and a large farm house in 1920. The five acres of land at Fischer Farm is a Bensenville Park District park. The land just north of the cabin has been left untouched and is valued for its original seedbeds. This unchanged landscape is what settlers peered upon when they

arrived in the area. Fischer Woods is a rare forest preserve with the remnants of prairie, wetland and woodland ecosystems. The Bensenville Park District in partnership with the DuPage County Forest Preserve has been working to restore the property and land. We invite you to come out and enjoy this piece of history! Fischer Farm is located just west of Church Road at 16W680 Old Grand Avenue. Admission is free, donations are accepted. Complimentary tour hours are available on the Bensenville Park District website page http://www.BvilleParks.org/fischerfarm
