Expert volunteer Frank Marchant will lead you on this in-depth tour of the Dana-Thomas House. The tour, which is twice as long as a general tour, includes entering rooms that are not seen on other tours. You'll get a detailed look at the house from an architectural perspective, including some colorful stories related to the Dana House.
The tour will last approximately 2 hours, depending on guest questions and discussion. There is no cost for the tour, but donations to support the site are suggested. Cash donations are accepted on-site, or you may donate electronically at https://historicspringfield.dnr.illinois.gov.
This tour is recommended for teens and adults with an interest in Frank Lloyd Wright architecture, and guests who have toured the house before, who would like a more in-depth experience.
