If you are in this city in the summer, head to downtown for antique and specialty cars shows. You can even catch a show at Tivoli Theater, also in downtown. The theatre opened in 1928 but is now a bargain movie theatre so you can enjoy the latest show without hurting your wallet! Several performing arts groups also use the theatre such as the Midwest Ballet Theatre and the West Towns Chorus. If you’d rather paint the town red, take the Sears Catalog Homes Tour before heading out for the night. Between 1908 and 1904, around 100,000 catalog homes were sold and shipped by train across Illinois and you can take a self-guided walking tour to see these early 1900s homes. Learn a little more about town by visiting the Downers Grove Museum, which has exhibits and artifacts that preserve and interpret materials that explain and document the history of Downers Grove.
