On Sunday, June 30th, the Wilmette Historical Society will host its 2024 Historic Garden Walk. The Society’s first Garden Walk was held during the summer of 2021, and the event’s popularity since then has led to its return this year with new gardens that are sure to fascinate and inspire people of all ages.

Join us in exploring four Wilmette gardens, and learn more about their unique designs and features, as well as the exterior architecture and history of their adjoining homes. This is an exciting event for gardeners, history buffs, and for those who are simply curious and would enjoy a fun afternoon stroll.

Ticket proceeds for this event benefit the operating budget and special projects of the Wilmette Historical Museum. Beginning May 1, advance discounted tickets go on sale and are $40 for members, $50 for non-members, and $25 for high school and college students. Prices increase by $10 beginning Monday, June 24. Tickets can be purchased on our website or by calling or stopping by the Museum. Please check our website for a list of sponsors and for the most up-to-date information, or call us.

The Museum appreciates the generous support of Bartlett Tree Experts, Chalet Nursery & Gardens, de Giulio Kitchen Design, Morgante Wilson Architects, Nature’s Perspective Landscaping, North Shore Community Bank, Scott Simpson Design + Build, and The North Shore Weekend, all sponsors of this year’s Historic Garden Walk.
