If you walk around St. James Farm Forest Preserve in Warrenville, IL, you might find a gate. That’s not a huge surprise on a farm since farms usually have lots of gates.
What is surprising is that this gate is just in the middle of a field, not really stopping anyone from getting to the other side.
