SUMMARY:The 51st Annual Mother's Day House Walk
DESCRIPTION:<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Join us for Evanston History Center’s 51st Annual Mother’s Day House Walk!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This beloved tradition invites you to step inside some of Evanston’s most stunning and historically significant homes—each with their own story to tell. These homes have been selected for their architectural significance, important histories, and stunning interiors.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Why You Won’t Want to Miss It:</strong></p>

<ul>
 	<li style="text-align: left;">Exclusive access to beautifully preserved homes that are rarely open to the public.</li>
 	<li style="text-align: left;">A special showcase of architectural and interior design.</li>
 	<li style="text-align: left;">An unforgettable experience full of beauty, charm, history, and cultural heritage.</li>
 	<li style="text-align: left;">On the Dawes House lawn when you come to pick up your tickets and program at the Evanston History Center, enjoy:
<ul>
 	<li style="text-align: left;">Evanston Made plein air paint out! See the painters work on their easels from 10am-3pm; join us for the awards ceremony at 4pm.</li>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Evanston Gives Back</strong></p>
As we celebrate Evanston’s unique and historic homes, we recognize that not everyone has access to safe and stable housing. The Evanston History Center is honored to partner with YWCA Evanston/Northshore to support Mary Lou’s Place, YWCA’s Safe Emergency Shelter for Survivors of Domestic Violence. Please consider donating today when you purchase your House Walk ticket.
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Get your tickets today and enjoy a memorable Mother’s Day!</strong></p>
