About this event
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we're also taking time to consider the ways people in the United States practice democracy through civic action, including by making art, establishing community, and cultural expression. Join CHM History Buff volunteer guide Dave Gudewicz to explore the history of the Sheffield/DePaul neighborhood. The area was once home to immigrants who worked in the local factories, then wealthy Victorian-era families, and is now home to a university and its students. Stroll past Italianate and Queen Anne-style architecture and see the sites of Hollywood films. The tour concludes at the family-owned Kelly's Pub where you're welcome to grab a drink with the guide. $25, $22.50 members Tour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet at the street-level entrance of the Fullerton Red/Brown Line L stop. Tour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum, good for one week from tour date. Masks are optional for our outdoor walking tours. Learn more about our COVID-19 safety policies and procedures.
