Home Alone Church in Wilmette, Illinois

Located in Wilmette, Illinois, about 30 minutes north of downtown Chicago, Trinity United Methodist Church is the church that featured in Home Alone. Although Kevin runs between this church and his house in the movie, the two locations are actually in different towns. Despite the difference in seasons, the Trinity United Methodist Church looks pretty much the same as it did when Home Alone was filmed here.

Home Alone House in Winnetka, Illinois

Located just north of downtown Chicago in the affluent community of Winnetka, Illinois you'll find the iconic house from Home Alone (1990). There have been a few changes to the property over the decades, but the 'Home Alone House' is still immediately recognizable as the McCallister family home that Kevin defended from the invading Wet Bandits. I have to say it's pretty surreal to find yourself standing inside the familiarity of a Christmas classic. Awesome, but surreal.
   

Even the power pole is still here.

The house the Wet Bandits were arrested in is just across the street.

The garage is gone. As is the U-shaped driveway.

"Kevin! What have you done to my room!?"
