Our HISTORY

wE’RE HERE FOR HERITAGE AND HISTORY

Preservation Partners of the Fox Valley was founded as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1974 as Restorations of Kane County (RKC) initially to save the 1843 Durant-Peterson House (pictured above). Since then we have helped save dozens of historical sites throughout Kane County and operate five for the public to visit. Our endurance for fifty years is a credit to the commitment of our partners—local residents, businesses, and other non-profits—to save and share local history.
