This year the tour will feature homes with features and/or updates to make them more energy efficient and ecologically friendly.  New windows, energy efficient lighting and heating/cooling systems and updated plumbing are some of the green ideas that have been utilized.   

Tickets purchased before October 5th are $10 and may be obtained at Village Hall or from LWVPFA members.  Tickets will be $15.00 the day of the tour.  All tickets may be exchanged on October 5th at Dining on the Green in Downtown Park Forest for a map and brochure describing the houses. The House Tour is in conjunction with the Home Expo sponsored by the Village of Park Forest that will be held on the same day at Dining on the Green
