If there’s one location that should someday be converted into a tourist attraction, it would probably be the house from Home Alone. A truly iconic film spot, it seems an exercise in futility to try to manage a private life at the residence, yet to this day, it does indeed remain private. The house can be found in the quiet neighborhood of Winnetka, IL, a bit north of Chicago. A fence has since been built around the property.
LOCATION: 671 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka, IL 60093
They left the garage door open, just like in the film. The garage has since been demolished.
The church from the film can be found over in Wilmette, IL. This is the Trinity United Methodist Church, which was used as the exterior location for the film. The interior of the church was actually an entirely separate location; the Grace Episcopal Church (924 Lake St., Oak Park, IL 60301).
LOCATION: 1024 Lake Ave, Wilmette, IL 60091
Some props from the film and it’s sequel can be found on display at Planet Hollywood in Florida.
