IU Family Weekend at Wylie House Museum

An ornate porcelain IU cup and saucer are held by a white-gloved hand on the lawn of the Wylie House Museum. The front of the house can be seen in the background.

The historic 1835 home of the first president of IU, Wylie House, welcomes students and their families to enjoy free tours and croquet on the lawn. Pick up Wylie family recipe cards during your visit, and see if you can find one of the earliest known depictions of the IU trident on a china teacup. 

Tours are offered every hour on the hour, with the last tour starting at 3pm. No registration is needed. For parking information and accessibility questions, please email libwylie@iu.edu or call 812-855-6224.
