About NILO
John Olin created NILO Farms nearly 70 years ago by purchasing several adjoining properties near Brighton, Illinois. At that time, Olin needed a site to train his champion retrievers and develop new conservation and game management techniques. He quickly turned the overgrazed farms into a sportsman’s paradise replete with a beautiful mix of hardwood timber stands, grassy fields and abundant food sources for wildlife. This site became one of Olin’s favorite places and he would often entertain movie stars, famous athletes and government officials who came to hunt and shoot with him.
Very few sites in the country can offer this incredible mix of history and outdoor recreation. Come out and enjoy the sunshine, fresh air and fun shooting opportunities all on the site where legendary lab King Buck was trained and folks like Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, Roy Rodgers, and Cardinals baseball icons Red Schoendienst and Stan “The Man” Musial came to hunt and shoot.
