Our annual Housewalk is back with an exciting theme this year. The Chicago area is known for its architecture, and Wilmette is home to some of those hidden gems. This year, we are highlighting the Prairie School's influence and notable architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright and John Van Bergen. Come explore four stunning homes, each full of charm, on a beautiful day in May. 

This event is our biggest fundraiser of the year for the Wilmette Historical Society, supporting our work to conserve objects, create new exhibits, and develop programs and outreach throughout Wilmette. 

Tickets are on sale now! Early-bird pricing is available to both members and non-members through May 10. After that, tickets will be sold at the regular price.
