Take I-90 to the Marengo exit, then US Route 14 west to reach town in about 90 minutes from the city. The area sits in gently rolling prairie country with corn and dairy farms. Harvard is home to the Diggers, one of Illinois' oldest semi-pro baseball teams, still playing at their historic field since 1903.
