The Historic Marbold Farmstead Association (HMFA) in Greenview, IL is hosting a bike ride fundraiser Saturday, Sept 7, 2024. The HMFA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the Marbold Farmstead, a treasured piece of Menard County History. This organization focuses on educating visitors about the farmstead’s role in our heritage as well as providing a place to gather for community functions. Please join us for an incredible day of fun and laugher as we pedal our way through the Menard County heartland.
Riders will choose from two route options: The Family Ride is for the more casual rider of any age and will tour several historic Marbold-related sites within the Greenview community. This guided tour is approximately 2 miles long.
Seasoned riders will enjoy a 28 mi round trip from Greenview to Petersburg, via the countryside. All riding pavement is blacktop road. At the halfway point riders are invited to stop and “refuel” at Broadguage, Hand of Fate Brewery, and 1st and 3rd Boutique and Wine Bar. Both rides start and finish at the Greenview High School at which time riders can enjoy free admission to the HMFA Heritage Festival.
Don’t miss this opportunity to strap on your helmet and join our efforts to preserve an historic landmark. A landmark with the unique ability to enrich our community through all it has to offer.
