Support the work of Esta Barrett Manor & Gardens, Inc. in our historic preservation, land conservation, and sustainability.
Mission
We are committed to preserving and restoring Esta Barrett Manor & Gardens and educating people about the preservation of the historic structures and cultural landscapes that define our region.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Land Management
In total, we own and manage 560 acres of land including:
- 26-acre manor grounds laid out by O. C. Simonds
- 160-acre historic farm
- 40 acres of wooded bluffs along the Kishwaukee River
- 30 acres of restored prairie and wetlands enrolled in the USDA Conservation Reserve Program
- 285 acres of floodplain forest
- 18-acre archeological site designated as a Land & Water Reserve
The landscape is being rehabilitated to return the core grounds to the historic plat map, to care for historic native plantings, to plant new materials based on the intended designs of O.C. Simonds, and to align with our commitment to healthy ecosystems and sustainability.
