The Gaylord Building played a vital role in one of the great enterprises of the 19th century: the Illinois & Michigan Canal. A landmark since 1838, its many tenants and uses exemplify the canal’s commercial success as the key to mastery of the American mid-continent. This handsome limestone warehouse originally stored canal construction materials and later housed a variety of commercial ventures. Today it serves as a national example of adaptive re-use and is a gateway to the Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor. Visitors will discover in the exhibition galleries the unique heritage of the site and the corridor. The Gaylord Building is a historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Recently visited Siegels Cottonwood Farm and had an absolute wonderful time! So much to do, exceptionally clean, excellent staff, I can go on and on. Would definitely recommend this place over other local places we have patronized in the past for a day of clean family fun. And did I mention the donuts, pies, etc. are a must purchase on the way out! Delicious! I've read some of the other negative reviews and question their authenticity. My family and I did not witness anything even remotely close to the allegations. GO ENJOY!
