On the National Register of Historic Places, Mayslake Hall was built in 1921 as the retirement home for Francis Stuyvesant Peabody, one of the nation's largest coal producers. Mayslake Hall stands as a rare surviving example of the magnificent country houses that were built in DuPage County during the Gilded Age.
Today, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County is working to restore Mayslake Hall and has established it as a cultural and educational center. The hall currently serves as a venue for architectural tours, lectures, and artistic performances, which take place throughout the year. Mayslake Hall is also available for private rental.
