Maywood will be hosting it's 5th annual Historic Homes Housewalk on July 11, 1-5 pm, and will feature many homes by noted architects of the late 19th/early 20th century. This should again be an exciting year for those interested in historic homes and architecture and a great opportunity to view an often overlooked community so close to the city. We are located just 15 minutes directly west of downtown Chicago and an architectural kin to Oak Park and River Forest. Maywood boasts 17 houses on the National Register of Historic Places with dozens more eligible, some of which will be open for interior viewing. Several will be open for tours along with the gardens. Tours begin at the First Congregational Church at 400 N. 5th Avenue (Corner of 5th & Erie) Ticket price $15 includes Trolley Tour of the Village For more info go to www.nomco.org
