Walking Tour | Historic Old Town

A walking tour of Old Town led by a Chicago History Museum volunteer, covering the neighborhood's layered history from Potawatomi villages and German settlement to its role as a Puerto Rican enclave and a center of 1960s and '70s bohemianism. The 1.5-to-2-hour walk on Saturday, August 22, at 10 AM stops at a post-Fire shelter cottage, the Midwest Buddhist Temple, St. Michael's Church (one of only seven buildings to survive the 1871 fire), and other historic residences. The $25 fee ($22.50 for members) includes free museum admission good for one week from the tour date. Masks are optional on this outdoor tour.
