Great place to see some history and get some exercise.
Not really much to see. Ruins of buildings but not identified as to what they were. Not sure what we were looking at as far as function, etc.
Great walk through historic site that included a fun timeline brick walkway.
Great open air museum with a lot of information. Entrance is free, parking also. Sadly some idiots ruined some of the information-plates. But it's kind of a magic-historical place with a wonderful athmosphäre.
Thought this place was really cool to walk around and explore . Was cool to think of all the history there . After exploring the main part of this place it leads to trails you can walk to through the woods . Little ponds are the side of you as you walk . Was cool to see the old Joliet Prison in the back ground ofcourse you are not allowed past that fence without permission . Liked exploring all the remnants of the old buildings . I’d watch your steeping while walking through . a lot of nails and uneven surfaces .
Free! Awesome trail to explore and learn. Parking lot on site. Picnic pavilion also on site. Paved/stroller friendly trail. It was really cool to see the ruins and read the placards. I recommend this trail for a family friendly thing to do without needing to spend money. It really is a cool trail!
This is a very intriguing scenic landmark that is laced with amazing history. It is located along the I&M Canal Trail in Joliet, and it is worth a visit. Admission is always free, and it has a park area with benches and tables, so it would be a great place for a family to have a weekend picnic.
