The Western Springs Historical Society House Walk returns May 2013

Nov. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- WESTERN SPRINGS, November 13, 2012 — The Western Springs Historical Society (http://www.westernspringshistory.org) announced today that its House Walk fundraiser will return to the Chicago suburb Sunday, May 19, 2013 from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Tickets for the biennial event will be available in the coming months online at http://www.westernspringshistory.org at $30/person before May 19 and $35/person the day of the event. A list of local retailers selling tickets will also be available soon.

As in the 2011 House Walk (http://www.westernspringshistory.org/content/page/house_walk_2011), diverse architectural styles (http://www.westernspringshistory.org/content/page/Western_Springs_Architectural_Styles) will be featured in 2013. Six homes will open their doors for the tour including a Victorian, a remodeled 60’s Ranch, a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home with a modern West Coast vibe, and two homes featuring collections of Americana and European antiques respectively.

“We’re confident House Walk guests will come away from the day with renewed excitement and unique ideas for their own homes,” said Vicki Lezon, Western Springs House Walk Event Co-Chair. “Our goal is to generate funds for the Historical Society, while also ensuring an afternoon of inspiration for those in attendance.”

All proceeds from the event benefit the Western Springs Historical Society, an all-volunteer organization dedicated to instilling an appreciation of the village’s history (http://wsprings.com) in residents of all ages. Proceeds from the event will fund the Society’s operating budget, as well as help develop exhibits for the Ekdahl House (http://www.westernspringshistory.org/content/page/the_ekd...) and the Tower Museum (http://www.westernspringshistory.org/content/page/Museum), and provide programs and archival materials (http://www.westernspringshistory.org/content/page/archives_online) for residents.
