This week's dailyherald Suburban Skyview: Hay bales dot former equestrian estate near Barrington
Part of the 400 acres of the newest property acquired by the Forest Preserve District of Cook County is still used for agricultural purposes. In the southwest corner of the Horizons Farm land, a few dozen bales of rolled hay, wrapped in green plastic decorate the rolling prairie that once was a horse farm on Route 62 near Barrington.
It was purchased by the forest preserve district in 2014. A year later, portions of it were opened to the public for hiking, biking and horseback riding.
