Highlights

Step into Chicago’s past and explore the story of America’s first model industrial town on this guided walking tour through the Pullman Historic District. Once the heart of George Pullman’s luxury railcar empire, this neighborhood is now a National Monument that beautifully preserves its 19th-century charm and revolutionary history. Wander past rows of red-brick homes, elegant civic buildings, and historic landmarks as your local guide shares the fascinating rise and fall of the Pullman Company—and how a workers’ strike here forever changed labor rights across the country.


  • Explore a National Monument – Walk through one of the best-preserved 19th-century industrial communities in the United States.


  • Visit historic landmarks – See the Pullman Administration Building, Hotel Florence, Greenstone Church, and the Pullman Historic Foundation Visitor Center.


  • Discover labor movement history – Learn how the famous 1894 Pullman Strike shaped the future of workers’ rights in America.


Itinerary

  • Pullman Historic District

    4 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    Take a trip back in time with a stroll through the charming streets of the Pullman historic district. The first planned industrial community in the U.S., the Pullman neighborhood is a hidden gem known for its innovative urban design and stunning architecture. The area was designated a National Monument by President Obama in 2015, making it Chicago’s first and only unit of the National Park System. The neighborhood was meticulously planned by George Pullman in the 1880s as housing for employees of his Pullman Palace Car Company. Today, visitors can stop by the Pullman Factory where the railroad cars were constructed, the Hotel Florence, named for his daughter, and the A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum, which documents the first African American labor union in the country.
