Glenwood Park Forest Preserve in Batavia, Illinois proves that sometimes the smallest forest preserves are the best. While only about 40 acres, Glenwood Park Forest Preserve treats to some very beautiful views of the Fox River where you may see quite a few water birds like we did during our recent visit.
Batavia Depot Museum is quite the treasure tucked away near the Fox River in Batavia. On a recent day off, we found ourselves looking for something a little different to do. We love walking along the riverwalk in Batavia. We noticed that the Batavia Depot Museum was nearby, so a perfect little afternoon formed.
"Windmill City" Batavia, Illinois piques a bit of curiosity with a trail of windmills along the Fox River. Six windmill manufacturers once called Batavia home. Reclaimed and restored windmills manufactured in Batavia now add authentic character to a stretch of the city's riverwalk.
