Even if you are Home Alone, you can still check out these iconic locations

For many of us, Home Alone was a staple for holiday films. Who didn't love the 1990 tale of a kid, Kevin Mcalister (Macaulay Culkin), defending his house against the “Wet Bandits” (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) using traps made from household appliances, garden tools, toys, and pet spiders? 

The movie was written by John Hughes of National Lampoons, Ferris Buehler’s Day Off and 16 Candles fame, directed by Chris Columbus (Mr. Doubtfire), and takes place outside Chicago.

The McCalister Family Home 

The McCalister Family, aka The “Home Alone House,” home is in Winnetka, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. The house sold in 2012 for around $1.8 Million. Not only was it the family home, but the house was the ‘battlefield”  for Kevin’s traps to foil the bandits.
