Berwyn is one of the Chicago area's distinctive historic communities, known for its collection of early 20th-century residential architecture. Its neighborhoods are filled with classic bungalows, vintage homes, tree-lined streets, and architectural details reflecting the generations of families who helped build the community. Bungalows & More is a great way to experience that history in a completely different way — by stepping inside the homes themselves. Instead of simply admiring the architecture from the sidewalk, you'll have the opportunity to see how historic homes were designed, decorated, maintained, and adapted over the years. 🏡 The exterior tells one story. The interior tells another! 🗝️ WHY TAKE A HOME TOUR? There's something special about opening the door of a historic home. You can see craftsmanship up close, discover details that aren't visible from the street, and get a sense of how these homes were designed for everyday life. Whether you're fascinated by Chicago-area bungalows, historic architecture, interior design, neighborhood history, or just love looking inside old houses, this is a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. And who doesn't love getting a peek inside a house you normally couldn't enter? 😄🏠 🎒 WHAT TO BRING 👟 Comfortable walking shoes 💧 Water bottle 🌤️ Weather-appropriate clothing 📸 Camera or phone encouraged 💵 Ticket money if purchasing at the door 🗺️ Room to carry your tour map and materials 🎟️ TICKETS & CHECK-IN 🎫 $30 in advance 🎫 $35 at the door 📍 Registration and check-in take place at: Berwyn Historical Society Museum 1401 Grove Ave. Berwyn, IL 🗺️ Pick up your tickets and tour map at the museum before beginning the tour. 🚗 GETTING THERE 🚗 Driving: Street parking is available in the surrounding Berwyn neighborhood.
