If you are looking for fun fall festivities near Chicago, then check out Keller’s Farmstead in Oswego, Illinois. I want to tell you about:
- The history of Keller’s Farmstead
- When you can visit Keller’s Farmstead this autumn
- Activities you can do during those visits
- How you can save money on these visits
So let’s start with the history, because I think it’s rather interesting. Their family story in America begins when Adam Keller immigrated from Germany to Naperville, Illinois, where he purchased land along River Road in 1852. This new farm is where Frank Keller grew up. Keller eventually began farming on a new Ogden Avenue farm. Then in 1991, Keller’s Farmstand officially began. It started with a small cart on the Naperville farm’s driveway. But eventually, it became a large farmstand standing on their original farm soil.
It is still around today, and it is a wonderful place to visit during autumn. There are a lot of fun fall activities you can do here. You can visit the farm on Saturdays and Sundays. This started last Saturday and will run through October 26, 2025 (it is also open on Monday, October 13, 2025).
The biggest highlight may be the corn maze. This year, they have a 12-acre corn maze, themed this year to “Bats in the Bell Tower”. And speaking of mazes, they also have a 2-acre grass maze. This maze is themed to “The Sun, the Moon, the Stars and a Cow”.
Other activities you can enjoy at the festival include
