Pleasant Home is a Prairie Style house museum located in the heart of Oak Park, one the nation’s most architecturally significant villages. Designed in 1897 by prominent architect George W. Maher, the home is a National Historic Landmark and the only Maher building open to the public as a museum.
Unlike many museums, visitors to Pleasant Home are encouraged to interact with the home, furnishings and exhibits. In addition to public tours, the home is available for special event rental and group tours. The Pleasant Home Foundation operates monthly programming including Silent Movies on the home's expansive front porch in August, a holiday market in November, Twilight Tours with wine & cheese reception, and architectural lectures.
