Premier collections of antiques and decorative arts in Chicago and Milwaukee are the focus of a trip led by Historic Deerfield’s President Philip Zea September 6-9, 2013. A few slots are still available.

“Guests will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view some of the top private collections of American decorative arts, folk art, and historic maps in the United States,” said Philip Zea. “These are wonderful pieces that people just don’t get to see.”   The five private collections include premier American decorative arts collections, New England folk art, Crab Tree Farm, and the MacLean Map and Book Collection. In addition, The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago’s Driehaus Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, and the Chipstone Foundation will provide special museum tours.
