Cantigny Park
Apart from its natural beauty, Cantigny Park also holds significant historical importance. The park was the former estate of Robert R. McCormick, a renowned journalist and publisher of the Chicago Tribune. The estate was turned into a park in the late 1950s, by McCormick's foundation, and has since become a cherished place for the local community and tourists alike. Some of the historical features that can be found within the park include a museum dedicated to Robert R. McCormick, a beautifully landscaped garden, a golf course, and a large collection of military vehicles and weapons.
Visitors can explore the park at their leisure and participate in a variety of activities such as hiking, picnicking, and golfing. They can also take a guided tour of the mansion and learn about Robert R. McCormick's life and legacy. Additionally, the park hosts events and festivals throughout the year, offering a unique and enjoyable experience for all ages. Cantigny Park prides itself on preserving its rich history and providing a beautiful and educational experience for all who visit.
