The Funderburg House, Belvidere

About The Funderburg House

The Funderburg House is a restored 1906 craftsman-style mansion in Belvidere, Illinois where visitors tour an eight-thousand-square-foot historic home built by Katherine Rhinehart, daughter of Civil War General Allen C. Fuller. The property was later owned by Hugh K. and Alice Funderburg, proprietors of the Keene-Belvidere Canning Company, now known as K-B Farms. Visitors explore the rooms and architectural details of this iconic Belvidere residence, which operated as a private family home for over eighty years before being donated to the Boone County Historical Society in 2019. The house serves as a public museum and event venue, with group tours available for visitors interested in learning about the building's history and the families who lived there. A visit suits anyone interested in regional history, architecture, or a guided exploration of a well-preserved early-twentieth-century mansion in Belvidere.
