Walking Tour | Glitterati on the Gold Coast

A Chicago History Museum walking tour that digs into the city's Gilded Age social scene, led by a volunteer guide. The route covers the Gold Coast's ornate architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan, a rare wood-block alleyway, and early mansions including the Archbishop's Residence, while the guide sketches the neighborhood's transformation from an isolated wealthy enclave to the heart of Chicago high society. The tour runs 1.5 to 2 hours on Saturday, September 19, starting at 10 AM from the museum. Registration is $25, or $22.50 for members, and includes free museum admission good for one week.
