Notes
  • Significance: The first owner of the house, Pierre Menard, was a successful French-Canadian trader and the first Lieutenant Governor of Illinois. As a one and one-half story framed house built in the French Colonial tradition, it features a wide veranda supported by stone pillars and an exposed stone basement. A stone kitchen is connected to the house by a breezeway. Many of the original Menard furnishings are still associated with the home and it is open for public tours. A two-story brick smokehouse and stone springhouse on the grounds enhance the cultural setting. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1970 and later listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
