  • I visited this museum during my stay in Chicago in Spring 2022. If you like the unique atmosphere of old houses, you should definitely visit it. The tour guide was amazing, he told us so many interesting things about the house and history of the family. We really enjoyed it! Just check their schedule before going since they are open on specific days only.
  • Good golly! This may be one of the most amazing tours one can take in Chicago. A National Historic Landmark on what used to be Millionaire's Row, this 135+ year-old Guilded Age Chicago home is full of original furnishings and a staff that knows so much about the family that once lived there and the era in which so much around the home developed then changed. Top notch!
