The Street of Dreams: Founding Families and Early Architects of Keystone Avenue

"Whoo Whoo! - Next stop River Forest!"

Meet us at the River Forest Train Station for a stroll through River Forest history. Learn about the oldest commercial building, the architect of the Methodist Church, the “power couple” who helped bring the Columbian Exposition to Chicago, and much more as we take a sidewalk tour down the stretch of Keystone Avenue known as “The Street of Dreams.”

This tour will start in front of the River Forest Train Station (Thatcher Ave. just south of Lake St.) at 2pm and will last approximately 90 minutes. Because of health concerns in our current environment, the tour will be limited to no more than 10 people and face masks will be required. Please bring your own water if needed. Private group tours may be booked by special arrangement. Contact the museum for more information. No refunds will be given for reservations cancelled less than 24 hours prior to the event.

Tickets are $10 or $8 for members. Space for this event is limited, and spots fill up fast, so reserve yours today. Click here to purchase tickets in our online store.
