Mid-Century Modern Homes Tour

This day-long special event is brought to you by the Champaign County History Museum and The Krannert Art Museum to celebrate local history, architecture, and Preservation Month. Our day begins with a panel at 10:30 to teach you about the history of Mid-Century Modern architects from the CU and their structures. Tours begin at 1 p.m. and will allow you to explore four historic homes: the Margaret Erlanger House by Jack Baker in west Urbana, the Jack Baker Loft and Studio in downtown Champaign, the A. Richard William's Pallachutheril Residence in Champaign, and the Japanese House and Gardens of James A. and Lorene M. Bier by John Replinger. Each home will be an open house, allowing you to explore them at your own pace. The panel discussion is free and open to the public, guests will need to purchase tickets for the tours. We hope you'll join us for an exciting and educational opportunity to both learn and experience history!
