The Landing at 1841 is a restored 1841 barn set on the banks of the White River amid 50 acres of Wisconsin prairie and an onsite vineyard, just outside Burlington. The land was once a gathering place for the Kickapoo Tribe in the early 1800s and later a stop on the Underground Railroad under farmer True Worthy Durgin; the property was purchased by Tim and Renee Richter in 2015, after decades as a studio housing thousands of works by artist and peace activist Matt Lamb. Restored to its original vintage character and outfitted with modern amenities, the whitewashed barn welcomes guests beneath original rustic wood beams and grand chandeliers, with a copper-topped built-in bar and French doors opening onto a deck overlooking the lawn and river. Heating and air conditioning let the space host events year-round, and both indoor and outdoor ceremony sites, along with getting-ready space in the Trueworthy House and The Loft, support weddings for up to 200 guests. The Landing also hosts retreats and small private and corporate events, from banquets to holiday parties.

At its core, ELAWA FARM is an innovative public-private collaboration devoted to the preservation and maintenance of a rare combination of natural environment, created landscapes, as well as architectural and historic structures. It was in 1998 that the City of Lake Forest purchased a 16-acre tract of land that included the original farm complex buildings that were once part of a gentleman's farm dating back to the early twentieth century, known as ELAWA FARM. This acquisition, which was made adjacent to the environmentally valuable Middlefork Savana, provided a chance for a unique combination of public and private entities to work in the preservation and use of this land, which was previously underutilized. Elawa Farm is currently operated by the Elawa Farm Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Middlefork Savana is a section of the Lake County Forest Preserve, which is located in northern California. Elawa Farm is the ideal location for your wedding, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, engagement party, or other special event of any size or scope.
