Journey into architectural history with the third biennial Modernist Homes Tour hosted by the Edith Farnsworth House. This year, the tour explores the hidden gems of Riverwoods, a village steeped in 20th-century modernist design by Chicago legends Keck & Keck and the prolific “prairie modernist” Edward Humrich. Witness the remarkable resurgence of this architecturally significant community, once facing the threat of tear-downs and overdevelopment.
Enjoy exclusive interior access to five meticulously restored homes on this 3-hour tour, offering intimate glimpses into the best of modernist living. As a special bonus, all ticket holders have the opportunity to visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s stunning Lloyd Lewis House (1939) located nearby. Choose from a morning or afternoon tour. Meet at Riverwoods Village Hall (transportation provided for the five homes). Don’t miss this rare rare opportunity to explore these private homes!
