House in the Woods Room Dedication with the Noecker Family

Help us celebrate a recent room renovation at the House in the Woods Room Dedication with the Noecker Family on Friday, Sept. 5 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the House in the Woods.

The community is invited to see the updates made to Room 1, thanks to the generosity of the Joe Noecker Family. Joe’s gift is in memory of the Noecker family, who have a rich history at Allerton: Ray and Vera Noecker and children Marilyn (Noecker) Sago, Jo Ann (Noecker) Shafer, and Don Noecker lived in the House in the Woods in the 1940s when they were caretakers of the Allerton Estate. Marilyn and other family will be in attendance. Read more about the family’s ties to the Park here.

Light refreshments will be served and most of the House will be available for viewing. There will be a short program at 10 a.m.

Free, but registration is appreciated at https://allerton.illinois.edu/events/hitw-room-dedication/ for planning purposes by Sept. 4.
