The Elawa Farm Commission was re-established on September 17, 2012 by the City Council.  Elawa Farm is one of the last remaining and intact examples of estate farm architecture in the Midwest and is located adjacent to the ecologically significant Middlefork Savanna.

Rich in history and native Illinois surroundings, Elawa Farm brings new resources and expanded learning opportunities to Lake Forest.   The Elawa Farm Commission is charged with serving as an advisory body to the City Council for establishing policies and standards concerning the preservation, restoration, re-use, operation and programming of the Elawa Farm Building Complex and Garden area.

Seven members serve on the Commission, and serve a maximum of three two-year terms.
