Join Naperville Preservation for a Tour of the Historic Clow House and Riverview Farmstead

The Clow family played a significant role in the early history of Naperville, Illinois, as one of the first families to settle in the area and establish a farm.   The house is one of Naperville’s 5 local landmarks. 

With our interpretive tour guide, we will tour the Clow House and the dairy barn. The Clow family’s original residence was built in the 1840s. The one-and- and-a-half story home was constructed of rough-cut limestone. The family used the top floor as a residence and kept cattle and livestock on the ground floor. Eventually the Clow family built a separate barn for livestock. 

Tom Cowan, local architectural woodwork designer, will be there, too. He will discuss the techniques used in restoration of the Clow House.

Come and spend a fall morning on this Naperville landmark!
