Pullman tourism poster
I've been following the work from The Chicago Neighborhood for years. The talent he brings in designing brands for Chicago's neighborhoods and for the many parts of the city that tourists should come visit is impressive.

I found out about this event through Curbed Chicago earlier this month, however, all I did was retweet this information. It would've been cool for me to take part in this as I know more about Pullman's story and architecture, but very little of some of the labor drama that took place there.

Labor history tends to get short shrift in history books.WTTW has more on the history of this strike in 1894 with regards to the perfect company town that was Pullman.
The Pullman National Monument Preservation Society, created by Barack Obama’s presidential proclamation in 2015, is trying to change that. During the Great Pullman Strike’s 125th anniversary, the group is giving guided tours each month through October.

The next tour is scheduled for July 13 at noon. Admission is $25, and each ticket includes post-tour reception and dessert.
