Tours

Since 1981, PACA has conducted tours of the historic resources of Champaign County.  Tours have varied by type and site and have included walking, bus, and even horse-drawn carriage tours.  Generally, a semi-annual house tour is held in a Champaign or Urbana neighborhood with proceeds divided between PACA and the neighborhood organization.
