Naper Settlement, established in 1969, is a 12-acre (49,000 m2) outdoor history museum accredited by the American Alliance of Museums that consists of a collection of thirty historical buildings and structures from the Naperville, Illinois area. Many buildings were moved here from their original locations and refurbished in a style fitting of their time periods that range from 1831, when Naperville was founded, through the early 20th century. Visitors can come for hands-on activities and tours led by museum educators in period costumes. The Settlement is situated on land bequeathed to the City of Naperville in 1936 by Caroline Martin Mitchell.Use our Naperville trip builder app to arrange your visit to Naper Settlement and other attractions in Naperville.

Loved seeing old buildings and learning the history. The mansion was my favorite. Volunteers in some of the buildings gave more detailed info on each to make it more interesting.

We had a fantastic time! Our favorite part was the tour of the Martin Mitchell Mansion, our tour guide was Angelina and she was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Also enjoyed the blacksmith shop, the indigenous flower gardens & trees and the artifacts on display. Was a wonderful way to spend our morning/afternoon.

Beautiful place. So much history, lovingly preserved. Highly recommend it as a half-day or more outing. We watched a blacksmith make some decorative hooks, and all the docents were dressed in period costume. More is being added, there was some construction going on, but we were still able to see everything.
