Winter Solstice Guided Lantern Walk & Tour

Celebrate the shortest day of the year with a lantern-lit winter walk and guided tour of the Edith Farnsworth House and its grounds.

As dusk settles over the landscape, an expert guide will lead you along the quiet, wood-chipped paths beside the Fox River, sharing rich insights into the house, its nearly 60-acre setting, and our 2024–2025 interpretive theme, Nature + Culture. By lantern light, the site reveals a different kind of beauty—quiet, elemental, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Before or after your tour, enjoy a Sip-n-Shop in the Museum Shop and discover thoughtful gifts for giving—or keeping.
