Friends of the University of Illinois, the College of ACES, Illinois Extension, and Illinois 4-H gathered to celebrate the 120-acre Warren family farm located in Piatt County, Illinois. The legacy of the Warren family started in 1955, when Elizabeth Warren gifted 40 acres of farmland to the University of Illinois as a memorial to her family. The intention of the gift was to support and promote Illinois 4-H and other youth agricultural programs, as well as long-term research. In 1996, an additional 80 acres were added to the gift from the estate of Milton W. and Claradine Warren, as a memorial to Milton and his sister, Anna May Warren. Since then, countless Illinois youth have benefitted from the generosity of the Warren family, through proceeds from the farm.
