Community Support Day: Fullersburg Historic Foundation: Ben Fuller Farmhouse c 1840

A goal of the Fullersburg Historic Foundation (FHF) is to raise funds to restore the interior of the Ben Fuller Farmhouse as an interpretive and educational center for visitors and students in the Fullersburg Historic District. The historic house, located on York Rd across from the Graue Mill, was built by pioneer Benjamin Fuller in the Greek Revival style, the Farmhouse is believed to be the best example of balloon frame architecture remaining in Northeastern Illinois.  The restoration of the farmhouse and the creation of an interpretive center will document the history of the pre-settlement and the settlement of old Fullersburg.

FHF works in partnership with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County and community and civic organizations  to inform residents about the historical significance of Fullersburg through displays, exhibits and programs, including documented archaeological findings, Native American presence, early settler genealogy, pioneer gravesites and Civil War history.
