2024 – The MG Tweed Tour, April 27th

A seasoned veteran in putting together original and unique driving events. Doug Clark is organizing yet another “themed” driving tour.

Drivers meeting:12:15 PM

Start: 12:30 PM

Start Location: Starbucks – West side of Route 59, north of 95th St. (Naperville Crossings shopping center)
We will drive our MGs in tweed attire (jackets / vests / pants / caps), to help keep warm, especially if the temperatures are cool – and if our heaters don’t work well.

(The group picture could look rather interesting…)

We’ll drive country roads in Kane and Kendall counties (about 40 miles), before arriving at the Edith Farnsworth House for a 2:00 tour of residential glass pavilion designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a pioneer of modern architecture, a notable architectural gem.

The total time of the tour will be about 90 minutes.
A block of tickets, set aside for us, for  the 2:00 tour of the Farnsworth House is on their website per the below link:
Farnsworth House Tour Tickets

The admission charge is $30 per person, plus a $1.80 online charge. Tickets need to be bought in advance, online. After April 20th, unsold tickets in the ticket block will be released. (It still could be possible to buy them through the website.)

We will arrive in the car park which is close to the Visitors Center. Golf carts are available for transport from the Visitor Center to the House (½ mile). Advance notice is needed for this.
See the the Farnsworth House website for more information on the House and the grounds.
