Community Christmas Trees

Cantigny invites you to join us in supporting seven area non-profits this holiday season. 

The McCormick Museum will feature seven special Christmas trees, each decorated by a different nonprofit organization from DuPage County. You can make a donation to one or more of the organizations at the museum adn the McCormick Foundation will match donations! 

These seven DuPage County charities were invited to participate because their misisons involve issues or causes that were meaningful to Robert R. McCormick.

DuPage Children's Museum
Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana
DuPage Community Foundation
DuPage Senior Citizens Council
Giving DuPage
Literacy DuPage
and People's Resource Center

Don't miss the stunning Freedom Hall tree decorated by Phillip's Flowers and Gifts or the Freedom Hall mantle decorations by Kio Kreations.

The trees decorated by these organizations will be positioned throughout the McCormick Museum, with two trees in the Gold Theater and five on the first floor. 

A traditional 18-foot tree will greet visitors in Freedom Hall, the mansion’s historic library.  Phillip’s Flowers & Gifts was selected to design and decorate this year’s grandest tree, which will have a Robert R. McCormick theme.

McCormick Museum hours in November and December are 10 am to 4 pm, Tuesday-Sunday, with visits by free guided tour.  The museum will be closed on Thanksgiving and the day after, and also closed Dec. 23-26 and Dec. 30-31.  The final day of the Community Trees exhibit will be Dec. 29.
