About: Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks, all year long. 100% of the proceeds from the 2025 Starved Rock and Matthiessen Calendar are being donated to the Starved Rock Foundation. The volunteer-run foundation supports the State Park through educational programs, guided hikes, exhibit updates, and more.
