Description
The Chicago Architecture foundation is the best resource for learning about Chicago's history through its buildings. Originally started in 1966, the group was started in effort to save the historic Glessner building. The organization grew and now offers a wide variety of tours and exhibits on the skyscrapers of the Chicago skyline. Take a boat tour up the Chicago river to see some of the highlights such as the Tribune Tower. Or trade the water for a walk around the city in the Loop Walking Tour. The tours cover over fifty historic sites and are a relaxing way to see the city. The exhibit at the main locations on Michigan Avenue can cover everything you may have missed and also gives visitors a chance to shop in the store which is filled with tons of fun gifts and things to bring home.
