Wheaton

Among the cities of Illinois, Wheaton stands out for being home to Wheaton College, a liberal arts institution founded in 1860. The city is the seat of DuPage County and lies alongside the West Branch DuPage River, within Chicago’s western suburban belt. Cantigny Park, the former estate of Chicago Tribune publisher Robert R. McCormick, combines formal gardens with the First Division Museum, devoted to the U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division. The Illinois Prairie Path, a rail trail on the former Chicago, Aurora and Elgin Railroad right-of-way, passes through town and connects Wheaton to a broader suburban trail network.
