We are planning to move forward

Plans continue to move forward but we need your help. Consider donating to our ongoing restoration work.
Checks payable to: HMFA, P.O. Box 438, Greenview, IL 62642. Or use our “Donate” button! You can make a difference through your financial support! Thanks.

Our restoration could not have happened without your help. The goal of all of our events and other fund raising activities is to continue this work. 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.

The Historic Marbold Farmstead is a treasured jewel in Menard County, Illinois. The farmstead is located at 21722 State Highway 29, approximately one mile south of Greenview and 20 miles north of the state capital, Springfield. (Click for map and driving directions.) Currently, the Historic Marbold Farmstead Association and the Farmstead's supporters are working to prepare the site for visits and viewing by the public.

This website is managed by the Historic Marbold Farmstead Association (HMFA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of the Marbold family legacy and restoration of the farmstead property.

Explore the rich history of this land and learn how you can help us turn the neglected farmstead into a beautiful living museum to be treasured by generations to come.
