In the spirit of Norman Rockwell this photo is posted. Casper Schlick and his Grandson Fred Schlick on the Daleiden/Schlick Farm located on Mack Road in Winfield Township. The farm is now a part of the Blackwell Forest Preserve of the DuPage County Forest Preserve District. The farm was sold to the District in 1967 and became a part of the District in 1970 upon the passing of Casper in 1970. Casper lived and farmed on the property for sixty years (60).(Photo Credit: Frank J. and Mae C. Schlick Estate Photo Archive).
