historical chicago parks series: white city & the devil
(Ages 55+)
This tour will be led by historian, Julia Bachrach, author of The City in a Garden: A History of Chicago's Parks. Bachrach
served as historian for the Chicago Park District for 28 years and co-authored the 2018 Section 106 Historic Properties
Report for Federal Undertakings in and Adjacent to Jackson Park Cook County, Illinois. The 1893 World's Columbian
Exposition was one of the most important events in Chicago and American history. Renowned landscape architects
transformed Jackson Park on the Southside into the famous White City fairgrounds. As told in Erik Larson's best-selling
book, Devil in the White City, while millions of visitors enjoyed the World's Fair, a murderer who called himself Dr.
Henry Howard Holmes lured young women wanting to visit or work at the fair to stay at his nearby hotel. On this tour,
participants will explore sites related to both the White City and the devil. Lunch location is TBD.
