Benefits for Members
Become a Member
When you join the Alumni Association as a member, part of your membership includes a charitable gift to the University of Illinois. Our alumni are making a difference across campus and around the world by supporting students and the groundbreaking research completed at the University. The charitable portion of your membership will go towards sustaining and promoting the legacy of Allerton Park.
Built as a private residence by artist and philanthropist Robert Allerton in 1900, Allerton Park and Retreat Center is a historical treasure that was donated to the University of Illinois in 1946. The 1,500-acre property features woodlands, prairies, a mansion, formal sculpture gardens, hiking trails, a café, and lodging facilities. Allerton Park offers a unique opportunity to experience art, nature, and history through accessible and sustainable programming, research, and facilities.
