Meals
All meals, from the Sunday evening reception through Thursday lunch, will be provided in the Allerton Mansion. Be sure to make dietary restrictions known on your registration form. For planning purposes, a survey will be sent to identify any expected meal non-participation, e.g. for part-time participants and those arriving late or departing early. There is a small café onsite with select operating times during the day Greenhouse Café at Allerton. A cash bar will be available in the evenings inside the mansion.
Hikes
Robert Allerton Park is a special place that was gifted to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with miles of hiking trails, formal gardens with over 100 garden ornaments, and many quiet spaces in its wooded acres to find solitude and think. We are happy to provide everyone a chance for a guided tour with a local expert to get to know this space better.
