Train and Walking Tour - Prairie District Street of the Elite

Get a sense for how Chicago's wealthiest residents lived around the turn of the century and what remains today. This unique Chicago tour begins with an exploration and coffee at one of the city's newly-revitalized spaces: The beautiful Chicago Athletic Association Hotel.

A short ride on the Green Line takes us to the Prairie District, home to many historic sites such as Motor Row, the former Chess Records, the oldest house in the city, the landmark Second Presbyterian Church and the Glessner House. After enjoying some traditional Chicago deep dish pizza, we'll board the train back to the Loop. There, we'll peek inside an historic hotel and grab a sweet treat (with a sweet story) to wrap up the tour.
