Francis Field Youth Foundation and Fairgrounds
The Francis Field Youth Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We are a volunteer-run board of directors who helps make the Francis Field fairgrounds available to the Will County community. This 17 acre facility in the heart of Will County Illinois was donated by Fred Francis in the 1950's for the community to use for agricultural exhibition and other community events, particularly 4-H activities. The facility is still being overseen by an eleven member volunteer board and now is a Will County Historic landmark and in use by many different groups and clubs in New Lenox and the Will County area. The facility and grounds are also available for rental for various events and gatherings.
