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.  In the past, PACA has conducted tours of residential properties, commercial properties, churches, cemeteries, and barns.  Below is a list of past tours.
