In 1866, cattle farmer and merchant William Duncan began building a towering brick manor outside of Towanda, Illinois...

150 years later, Dave and Randi purchased the property and began restoring the Manor to its former glory. The Manor has been given new life as a place for community, sustainablity, and restoration in central Illinois.

The Howells have devoted the last 7 years to reclaiming prairie land and restoring Duncan Manor House & Gardens to create a sustainable hub for local business, art, community, history, culture and agriculture in central Illinois.
