This walking tour will take you through the heart of the Pullman historic district and is perfect for people who are interested in getting to know more about the rich history of the former Pullman empire. Our amazing local guides will tell you all about the original buildings (one of the largest collections of 19th-century row houses in Chicago), the sad history of the employees and the former outskirts of “Bumtown” where workers secretly planned one of the biggest strikes in history and much much more!
