About this event
Chicago Studies and its many partners make it easy to explore the city—and understand it better—on an architectural walking tour of UChicago’s original campus. In the 1890s, the institution’s founders had a novel idea: a university that was not merely in but also for the young city of Chicago. Learn how that vision is expressed in the historic buildings and landscapes of what is now known as the Main Quad. Please arrive by 9:15 a.m. to pick up audio aids and make introductions. This tour involves about one mile of walking with frequent stops.
