Jubilee College State Park
Jubilee College State Park, Historic college and state park in Peoria County, United States.
The 3,200-acre park contains rolling hills, woodland areas, and steep ravines between Kickapoo and Brimfield in central Illinois.
Episcopal Bishop Philander Chase established Jubilee College in 1839, which operated until 1862 when financial difficulties forced its closure.
The preserved college building represents early American frontier education and religious training practices from the mid-nineteenth century.
Visitors access more than 40 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking throughout all seasons.
The park maintains an equestrian campground with specific paths designated for horse riders to explore the natural landscape.
