Writer, The Backyard Tourist
Kelly Klobucher is a museum and preservation professional and the writer behind The Backyard Tourist, a cultural travel blog rooted in history, place, and the power of slowing down. After years leading museums and historic sites, she now explores destinations within a day’s drive of Chicago—and beyond—through a lens shaped by interpretation, storytelling, and civic engagement. Her work focuses on presidential sites, regional museums, historic towns, and landscapes that reveal how America was built. Rather than critiquing institutions, Kelly invites readers to step inside them, stand where history happened, and experience it firsthand. Through thoughtful road trips, strong coffee, and the occasional slice of pie, The Backyard Tourist encourages curious travelers to take the scenic route—and find meaning along the way.
