Built as a private residence in 1900, today Allerton Park and Retreat Center is a historical treasure owned by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Befitting a splendid Georgian Manor House, the formal gardens feature extensive plantings and over 100 ornaments and sculptures for your group to discover. Enjoy a delicious group dinner in the Mansion, and see why it’s listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and named one of the American Institute of Architects’ 150 Great Places in Illinois. This is surely a night your group will never forget!
