Join us for the Berwyn Historical Society’s annual Bungalows and More
housewalk, featuring interior guided tours of six historic Berwyn homes on
Sunday, September 25, 2011, noon to 5pm. Tour starts at the Berwyn Route 66
Museum, 7003 West Ogden Avenue.This year’s tour will showcase the
well-preserved Art Moderne Silhan House, which is on the National Register of
Historic Places, as well as a range of bungalows and other vintage homes.

Tour-goers will learn the history of each home, while gaining valuable ideas
and insight for restoring and maintaining their own vintage homes. The 2011
tour homes are located in the vicinity of Berwyn’s portion of Route 66, Ogden
Ave.

Participants may walk, bike or drive the tour at their own pace during the
event. Bike parking courtesy of Active Transportation Alliance.

You can visit the homes in any order you wish. Each house is staffed with
docents, providing guided tours.

$20 tickets are now available online and at local merchants; or $25 tickets will
be available at event check-in at the Berwyn Route 66 Museum, 7003 West Ogden
Avenue, on September 25. We will also feature some unique merchandise for your
early holiday shopping.

All ticket sale proceeds will benefit the Berwyn Historical Society, a
non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve, protect and promote
architectural and historic resources in Berwyn through advocacy and education.
