Stories and Structures: Central Winnetka Architectural Treasures

Explore some of central Winnetka's historic architectural treasures! This 1-hour walking tour will take you from the Winnetka Historical Society's headquarters at 411 Linden (a c. 1859 Victorian gem) through the Village's historic downtown, around the Village Green, and back through some of the oldest neighborhoods. You'll learn about the architectural elements that make these 11 structures unique, and hear stories about the people who lived and worked in them.
