Kenilworth Walking Tours

The Chicago Architecture Center’s popular Kenilworth Walking Tours are returning this summer. Explore the history of the earliest homes and buildings in the village designed by renowned Chicago architects. Learn about Joseph Sears’s vision for Kenilworth and the architects who helped bring his suburban ideal to life through their charming and innovative residential designs. Featured architects include Franklin Burnham, George Washington Maher, Joseph Lyman Silsbee, George Nimmons, and John Van Bergen.

The 90-minute tour is available on six different dates (see above). Each tour will start at the Kenilworth Train Station (400 Richmond Road) and end at the Kenilworth Historical Society. At the KHS, attendees will have the change to explore the gallery space, including our latest exhibit, Kenilworth Centennial Homes, 1889-1924.

Tickets for the tour can be purchased on the Chicago Architecture Center’s website at www.architecture.org/tours/detail/kenilworth/. Members of the Kenilworth Historical Society are eligible for discounted tickets priced at $10. To receive the promo code for discounted tickets, please contact the Kenilworth Historical Society.
