McCormick House

Project New Leaf involves Cantigny’s iconic landmark, too. Changes inside Robert R. McCormick’s former residence so far include new exhibits and self-guided tour options. Longer term, we envision the mansion becoming much more than a museum. Ideas under review include spaces for meetings and receptions and creating opportunities for civic engagement. Structural work on the historic home will continue, such as the newly renovated staircase on the north portico.

Areas in gray are closed for revitalization. Please note that this includes the FDM, Tank Park, Playground, Picnic Area and parts of the gardens
