In 1998, the Cityof Lake Forest acquired a 16-acre parcel of land, including the original farm complex buildings that were part of an early 20th century gentleman's farm, known as ELAWA FARM. Adjacent to ecologically significant Middlefork Savana, this purchase created an opportunity for a unique partnership of public and private organizations to collaborate in the preservation and use of this property.
Today, Elawa Farm is managed by the Elawa Farm Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)3. The Middlefork Savana is part of Lake County Forest Preserve.

Beautiful small place for kids. They have small animals in enclosures and some birds. A beautiful small park with several swings suitable for very young kids to grownups. Altogether a quiet and beautiful place to spend time.

We love Elawa Farm. They have beautiful grounds to walk and wonderful well cared for animals to view.
