The Round Barn Wine Festival has become an annual Fall event in my hometown of Manhattan, IL ... located in Will County, south of Chicago. Extremely easy to get to from all directions and suburbs. The Round Barn Wine Festival held at the historical Koren-Baker Round Barn and Farm, is conveniently located at Rt. 52 and Baker Road, a short distance from I-355, I-57 and I-80 in Manhattan Illinois
The monies raised by this event go to further the restoration of the wonderful historic Koren-Baker Round Barn, which is now being utilized, along with the land around it, by the Manhattan Park District. The hopes are that the future will bring even more activities, events and families to this park property.
For years, the Koren family that owned and operated the farm on which this barn is located, hosted schools and organization's outings from everywhere within driving distance. Now adults, these "children" are coming back and visiting the farm and Koren-Baker Round Barn with their own children during activities and events held there.
I hope you consider a scenic drive to Manhattan this weekend for the Round Barn Wine Festival, its' music, wine tasting, food, and raffles. Ticket locations are posted on the Manhattan Park District website at: www.manhattanparkdistrict.com
