About Ellis
Ellis House and Equestrian Center sits within Baker Woods Forest Preserve in Minooka, Illinois.
The Kendall County Forest Preserve District acquired the former Ellis property in 2008. The center paired introductory horseback riding with lessons in how to care for horses and the land they depend on.
In its 2025 meeting minutes, the county records that the house was built in the 1990s in an older style. The district’s preservation work includes protecting and restoring oak savanna in Baker Woods.
