Experience Chicago’s Gilded Age, a time of grandeur and ambition. Begin with a guided visit to the Driehaus Museum, where the 1883 Nickerson Mansion and 1926 Murphy Auditorium showcase art, architecture, and design of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After lunch on your own, join a guided walking tour of Michigan Avenue and State Street with interior visits to the Chicago Cultural Center, the Palmer House, and Macy’s on State. Along the way, see architectural gems from Burnham, Sullivan, Holabird & Roche, and others who helped shape Chicago into a world-class metropolis following the 1893 World’s Fair. Your trip includes transportation, a museum and walking tour, and all gratuities. Call 309-268-8160 to request a Pontiac pickup. Registration deadline is April 9. Sorry, no refunds after this date.
