Corron Farm is an historic dairy farm in Campton Township, Kane County, Illinois settled in 1835 by Robert Corron. Robert Corron was one of the early settlers of Campton Township. He came to Illinois from Greenbriar County, (WV) Virginia at the age of 19 after the Illinois territory opened to settlement. After working the land and improving his claim with a log cabin, he was able to purchase the l

and from the Land Grant Office in Chicago in 1842-43. Between 1850-54, Robert built the brick home that still stands today, as well as the hired man's house built in 1885, but only lived in for one year. The homestead has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the Department of the Interior. The Corron Farm Preservation Society is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserve, increase and enrich knowledge of the history of the Corron Farm and early Campton Township and to provide leisure and educational opportunities for Township residents, businesses and surrounding communities. Purchased by Campton Township in 2003 as part of its Open Space Plan, Corron Farm is integral to the history and heritage of Campton. At the Campton Township Annual Meeting held April 9, 2002, Campton residents participated in their local government by voting to purchase part of the historic Corron Farm property for Open Space. This grass-roots action made Corron Farm the first property to be purchased under the Township's Open Space Plan, and preserve the land and protect it from development. Under the plan approved by voters, 222 acres of Corron Farm land was purchased by the Township, with 122 more purchased by the Kane County Forest Preserve.
