40th Anniversary House Walk
Sunday, May 17, 2026


The Western Springs Historical Society House Walk returns on Sunday, May 17, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., celebrating the 40th Anniversary of this beloved community tradition.

The 2026 House Walk will include seven thoughtfully selected homes located throughout Western Springs, offering guests a unique opportunity to experience the village’s diverse neighborhoods and architectural history. The House Walk brings together residents, designers, florists, and other industry professionals for an inspiring day of home décor, design, and architecture, while highlighting Western Springs’ rich history. This milestone year will feature an exceptional collection of homes ranging from historic to contemporary, showcasing a variety of architectural styles and sizes that reflect the character and evolution of the community.






For those participants who desire, we will have two complimentary “hop on/hop off” trolleys available for their convenience. The trolleys will depart from the Water Tower and The Village Club with stops near each of the tour’s homes. These trolleys have been graciously co-sponsored by @properties &amp; Leo Neidetcher with OriginRate. The Village Club will be this years Oasis where guests can take a break for light refreshments and restrooms.




Tickets are $40 in advance and $50 on the day of the event. Online tickets will be available for purchase beginning March 1, 2026 @ <a href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/40th-anniversary-house-walk." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/40th-anniversary-house-walk.</a> Traditional paper tickets will be sold at Clever Girl, Thomas Ford Library, and the Tower Museum&nbsp;(Saturdays, 10 a.m.–noon) beginning April 1, 2026. On the day of the event, tickets must be presented in exchange for a wristband, which serves as admission to each home. Online tickets will be exchanged for a wristband at the Tower Green, Village Club, or at any of the seven homes. Paper tickets must be exchanged at the Tower Green.

QUOTES Continued
Western Springs Historical Society President:
“Attending the House Walk is a wonderful way to give back to the community while enjoying a day filled with design, history, and celebration. I’m especially thrilled that a home from the 1986 House Walk— 40 years ago—will be featured this year. It’s a perfect way to honor the Walk’s 40th anniversary.”


Mike Scodro
Western Springs Historical Society Treasurer:
“Our House Walk income makes up nearly 80% of the Western Springs Historical Society’s total operating budget. Proceeds from this event are essential, supporting the majority of the day-to-day costs of operating the Archive, the Ekdahl House Museum, and the Tower Museum.”
