Adult Trips & Events Stained Glessner

Scrooge

Deck the halls and tour the Glessner House in Chicago, a National Historic Landmark. This 17,000 square foot home was designed in the so-called Gilded Age, when America’s newly rich industrialists were living in modern day castles. The industry shattering design of the house created an integrated environment that is both medieval and modern. Learn the history of the family and the house in our docentguided tour of the home, decorated for the holidays. After our tour of the Glessner House, we head over to the 2nd Presbyterian Church for a tour of the Tiffany stained glass. Lunch is on your own at a local establishment.

This zany audience participation comedy is a must-see this holiday season at the White Pines Theatre in Oregon, IL. The story line is based on a loosely adapted version of Charles Dickens' timeless classic, "A Christmas Carol", featuring Scrooge and his ghostly visitors.

Lunch and dessert included at the playhouse.
