The Waukegan Historical Society’s Tour of Homes is an annual fundraiser that began in 1969 and is a self-guided tour that allows participants to go through carefully curated homes at their own pace.

Come join us for a delightful afternoon exploring some of the most charming homes in Waukegan. This year's tour includes three historic private residences, as well as the Waukegan History Museum at the Carnegie and the Haines House Museum in Bowen Park, where you can marvel at the rich history and unique architecture of our city.

Get ready to be inspired by interesting architecture, beautiful interiors and fascinating stories behind each home. Whether you're a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or just looking for some home decor ideas, this tour has something for everyone.

Don't miss this opportunity to peek inside Waukegan's hidden gems and discover the beauty that lies within our community. Grab your friends and family, and join us for a day of exploration, inspiration, and fun!
