Woodland Palace

Nestled in the charming town of Kewanee, Illinois, is the historic Woodland Palace. This magnificent structure, also known as the "Castle in the Woods," was built in the late 1800s by industrialist and philanthropist Samuel Jarvis. The castle was originally designed as a summer home for the Jarvis family, but it has since become a popular tourist attraction due to its impressive architecture and rich history.

Woodland Palace is an architectural marvel, boasting 27 rooms, 14 fireplaces, and over 10,000 square feet of living space. It features a unique combination of Gothic, Tudor, and Romanesque styles, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in architecture and design. Furthermore, the castle is filled with artifacts and memorabilia from the Jarvis family, providing a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of the elite in the late 19th century. Visitors can take a guided tour of the castle and learn about its construction, as well as the historical significance of the Jarvis family in Kewanee.

Aside from its architectural and historical importance, Woodland Palace also holds a special place in the hearts of the local community. It has been a cherished landmark in Kewanee for over a century and has been carefully preserved for future generations to appreciate. In fact, the castle is currently owned and operated by the Kewanee Historical Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the town's history. So come and explore the grandeur of Woodland Palace, and discover the fascinating stories and secrets it holds within its walls.
