The Historic Homes & Gardens Tour is a unique opportunity to tour three of Oak Park’s historic gems, the Oak Park Conservatory, Pleasant Home and Cheney Mansion.

Pleasant Home is considered one of the earliest and most distinguished examples of Prairie School Architecture in the nation showcasing 19th –century craftsmanship and artistry.
