Stories and Structures: Downtown Winnetka and Beyond

Explore downtown Winnetka and beyond! This 1-hour walking tour will take you from the Winnetka Historical Society's headquarters at 411 Linden (c. 1859 Victorian) through the Village's historic downtown, along the edge of the Village Green, and back through some of the oldest neighborhoods. You'll learn about the architectural elements that make these 12 structures unique, and hear stories about the people who lived and worked in them.
