SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Historic Prairie Avenue    
DESCRIPTION:During the Gilded Age\, Chicago’s Prairie Avenue was regarded as “Millionaire’s Row.” The wealthy flocked to the area after the Civil War because it was close to the Loop\, and it did not require its residents to cross the Chicago River. \nOn this walking tour with guide and researcher Tony Szabelski\, stroll through the neighborhood that once boasted Second Empire\, Queen Anne\, and Richardson Romanesque-style homes. Learn about its rise to prominence\, decline in the mid twentieth century\, and the preservation efforts that led to the Prairie Avenue District to be added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Hear tales of the famous specters that supposedly still linger in the remaining structures\, such as the William W. Kimball House and Marshall Field Jr. Mansion. \n$25; 22.50 members \nTour runs approximately 1.5 to 2 hours\, meets at Glessner House at 1800 S. Prairie Ave.\, and ends at The Second Presbyterian Church at 1936 S. Michigan Ave. \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date. \nMasks are optional for our outdoor walking tours. Learn more about our COVID-19 safety policies and procedures.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Glitterati on the Gold Coast
DESCRIPTION:Join a CHM History Buff volunteer guide and whisk away to a time when Chicago’s rich and famous caroused on the coast. “Gold Coast” refers to a stretch of expensive lakefront property occupied by the city’s wealthiest residents. Before the opening of the Michigan Avenue Bridge (now DuSable Bridge) in 1920\, it was isolated from the downtown business district and home to only a few wealthy families\, such as the McCormicks\, Palmers\, and Ryersons. \nThe area soon became the heart of the upper crust of Chicago society. Sociologist Harvey Warren Zorbaugh\, who claimed that college boys returning from the East Coast dubbed the area the “Gold Coast\,” immortalized it in his book The Gold Coast and the Slum: A Sociological Study of Chicago’s Near North Side (University of Chicago Press\, 1929; reprint 1983). The density of wealth in the Gold Coast buffered it against the deterioration that threatened other portions of the North Side in the 1950s. \nGaze at ornate architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan\, step onto a rare wood-block alleyway\, and take in Chicago’s early mansions\, including the Archbishop’s Residence. \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet at the Chicago History Museum. \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Bronzeville
DESCRIPTION:Join author and historian Bernard Turner on this walking tour and see the names and contributions of Chicago’s most influential African Americans on the Walk of Fame\, landmarks\, public art reflecting the histories of the neighborhood\, and stories about the ways African Americans shaped the history and culture of this South Side neighborhood. \nThe Great Migration\, a long-term movement of African Americans from the South to the urban North\, transformed Chicago and other northern cities between 1916 and 1970. Chicago attracted slightly more than 500\,000 of the approximately 7 million African Americans who left the South during these decades. Before this migration\, African Americans constituted 2 percent of Chicago’s population; by 1970\, they were 33 percent. What had been in the 19th century a largely southern and rural African American culture became a culture deeply infused with urban sensibility in the 20th century. And what had been a marginalized population in Chicago emerged by the mid-20th century as a powerful force in the city’s political\, economic\, and cultural life \n$25\, $22.50 members  \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet at the SE corner of 35th Street and Martin Luther King Drive.  \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date. \nMasks are optional for our outdoor walking tours.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Historic Old Town
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago History Museum sits on the edge of Old Town\, a neighborhood rich in history. The Chicago area was home to the Potawatomi\, whose villages were built on these lands.

Since then\, it has served as an enclave for Puerto Rican migrants\, a home to the first gay rights organization in the US\, as well a vibrant arts scene. \nJoin CHM volunteer Carol Fitzgibbons to explore stories of recovery from the 1871 Great Chicago Fire and the neighborhood as the center of Chicago bohemianism in the 1960s and ’70s. Highlights include a post-Fire shelter cottage\, the Midwest Buddhist Temple\, numerous historic residences\, and St. Michael’s Church\, one of only seven buildings to survive the fire. \n$25\, $22.50 members  \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet at the Chicago History Museum.  \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Glitterati on the Gold Coast
DESCRIPTION:Join a CHM History Buff volunteer guide and whisk away to a time when Chicago’s rich and famous caroused on the coast. “Gold Coast” refers to a stretch of expensive lakefront property occupied by the city’s wealthiest residents. Before the opening of the Michigan Avenue Bridge (now DuSable Bridge) in 1920\, it was isolated from the downtown business district and home to only a few wealthy families\, such as the McCormicks\, Palmers\, and Ryersons. \nThe area soon became the heart of the upper crust of Chicago society. Sociologist Harvey Warren Zorbaugh\, who claimed that college boys returning from the East Coast dubbed the area the “Gold Coast\,” immortalized it in his book The Gold Coast and the Slum: A Sociological Study of Chicago’s Near North Side (University of Chicago Press\, 1929; reprint 1983). The density of wealth in the Gold Coast buffered it against the deterioration that threatened other portions of the North Side in the 1950s. \nGaze at ornate architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan\, step onto a rare wood-block alleyway\, and take in Chicago’s early mansions\, including the Archbishop’s Residence. \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet at the Chicago History Museum. \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date.
