June 30th guided tours will take place during our Tuesday Summer Socials, with tours starting every half hour from 4:00–6:30 PM.
Each 45-minute guided experience takes guests through 3 floors of the Manor in intimate groups of just 12 people, allowing time to truly take in the details, stories, restoration, and history of this remarkable estate. Along the way, you'll learn about the Duncan family, the Manor's connection to Route 66 and Central Illinois, and our family's ongoing journey restoring and sharing this historic home with the community.
Whether you come for the history, the music, the gardens, or simply a peaceful evening with friends, Summer Social was created to bring people together and share the beauty of Duncan Manor with the community.
