Historic Marbold Farmstead
This event is a dinner and a fun time in support of the continuing effort to recreate the elegant Victorian era mansion. Our efforts with the new conservatory addition shows where we are headed. So, please join us at the Marbold Dinner & Auction at Indian Creek Farmstead on November 6th.
We are now headed next into the restoration of the interior which will be exciting, since we intend to restore the elegance and grandeur of a Victorian era mansion. If you like how the conservatory looks, it is only a start. You can see a bit of what it will be by clicking here: Future

The goal of our Festival and other fund raising activities is the continuing effort to restore the Elmwood Mansion to its former glory. To do that we need the very generous and continuing support of all of you who are interested. We have many projects in mind to restore the glory of the Elmwood Mansion and to tell the story of agriculture of this part of the state. We are entering a phase where we'll soon begin to restore the interior and to return the beauty of the Mansion. We need your help!

We thank very much DANK, (the German American Club) Springfield, IL, Chapter 9 for their October 3 visit to the Mansion. The tour of the Mansion and the dessert party was wonderful! The weather was great, despite the rain. It was an example of future events that are both educational and just plain fun. The German connection between DANK and the Marbold Farmstead is, to paraphrase Humphrey Bogart, “the beginning of a beautiful friendship”.
