Muirhead Farms / Muirhead Farmhouse

Muirhead Farms / Muirhead Farmhouse The Muirhead Farmhouse is the only farmhouse that Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built specifically for an active farm family.

The design of the house met the needs for keeping the business part of the farm and family life a bit separated. The Muirhead Farmhouse is a Frank Lloyd Wright designed farmhouse located in northern Illinois. Built for Robert and Elizabeth Muirhead in the early 1950s, the home today remains in the Muirhead family and is home to the Muirhead's granddaughter and her family. Public tours are given by

the family on select Sundays throughout the year or by appointment. Visit www.MuirheadFarmhouse.com for more information.

Planning a small wedding ceremony of 30 or less guests and looking for a unique setting, let's talk. 💕 House tour option available for any of your guests that might be interested.

In the chair is Robert Muirhead, son of Robert and Elizabeth Muirhead. He met Frank Lloyd Wright when the house was being built and did some of the original construction along side his dad. He also was involved in the renovation in the early 2000s. He can sometimes be spotted on house tour days and loves to talk about the house and farm. So flag him down on his golf cart if you see him.

In doing some barn building cleaning this weekend we came across a piece of the original laminate for the kitchen and laundry room counters. It was Formica in a golden yellow hue. We won't not likely to restore the counters back to that color but we do now have a sample to show and reference tour takers which is fun.

Wishing you all a great weekend. Unfortunately we won't be at the Batavia Farmers Market this Saturday.
