The Wright Stuff: Motorcoach Tour & Architectural Cruise
Depart & Return:
LaGrange County Public Library
Saturday, August 4
This Tour is Sold Out!! Please contact S&S Travel at 1-888-262-4423 if you would like to be put on a waiting list.Registration is required through S&S Travel by June 30.We’re on the road again! And this time we’ll be joined by friends from the Angola and Fremont libraries, as we take a day trip to Chicago, the birthplace of modern architecture!
We’ll leave northern Indiana early in the morning and head into Chicago to pick up Judith Randall, tour guide extraordinaire, who helped make last year’s trip so utterly fabulous. Judy will spend the whole day with us.
The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 turned a huge swath of Chicago into a blank slate, which ambitious architects rushed to fill. The most famous of these was Frank Lloyd Wright, the genius of Oak Park. Our first sightseeing stop will be Wright’s own home and studio, followed by a walking tour of Oak Park.
Last year’s travelers will remember Pompei Restaurant in Little Italy, where we stopped for dessert. We all wished we could come back for a meal someday. Guess what? Our next stop will be at Pompei for a family-style lunch of pasta, pizza, and salad! (Lunch is included in the tour price.)
After lunch, we’ll re-board the coach for a driving tour of the Loop. Judy will use her incredible knowledge of Chicago to make the city’s history come alive for us. We’ll make a quick stop at the Rookery Building, built by architects Burnham & Root of 1893 World’s Fair fame, and see the dazzling light court, remodeled by Wright in 1905.
Next, we’ll head down to the Chicago River to board the Innisfree for a leisurely 1½ hour narrated architectural cruise. You’ll be fascinated by the stories behind Chicago’s famous skyline.
After our full day, the coach will bring us back home again, with a supper stop on the way.
Come join us for a fantastic day in the city! Registration forms are available at any branch of the LaGrange County Public Library.Recommended Books about Frank Lloyd Wright & Chicago:
