Walking Tour | Glitterati on the Gold Coast

A walking tour of the Gold Coast led by a Chicago History Museum volunteer guide, focusing on the era when the city's wealthiest families—McCormicks, Palmers, Ryersons—built their lakefront mansions. The route takes in architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan, passes a rare wood-block alleyway, and stops at the Archbishop's Residence. The tour meets at the museum on Saturday, October 17, at 10 AM, runs 1.5 to 2 hours, and costs $25 ($22.50 for members). Admission to the museum is included and good for a week after the tour.
