Kirk Burger from the McKee House Foundation revealed the future plans for the house.
The McKee House structures are one of the most important historic sites in DuPage County. Proponents of restoring and re-adapting them had fought a decade-long, uphill battle to avoid the threat of demolition. In their favor, two extensive studies of the main building performed by the Forest Preserve showed it to be structurally sound and historically significant.
There is an ongoing effort and agreement to remodel and restore the McKee House for a Native American Center. The aim of the Native American Cultural and Environmental Center will be to share Native American artifacts and historical information with the public. Plans include adding a garden with indigenous plants and hosting an annual event with the hopes of drawing in thousands of attendees from across the U.S.
