Tours of the Willard House


Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Evanston and the small size of the Museum rooms, the Willard House is currently closed for in-person tours. We plan to reopen for visitors in March 2022. In the meantime, we invite you to explore the many resources available on our website, including digital exhibits, blog posts, and more. Sign up for our e-mail newsletter and follow us on social media to receive updates about our free virtual public programs and other announcements.

Research in the WCTU Archives

Research in the WCTU Archives is by appointment only. Please contact our archivist for more details at archives@franceswillardhouse.org. To learn more about Covid-19 precautions for researchers, visit Library and Archives.
