What To Expect

Pullman Historic District

Take a trip back in time with a stroll through the charming streets of the Pullman historic district. The first planned industrial community in the U.S., the Pullman neighborhood is a hidden gem known for its innovative urban design and stunning architecture. The area was designated a National Monument by President Obama in 2015, making it Chicago’s first and only unit of the National Park System.

The neighborhood was meticulously planned by George Pullman in the 1880s as housing for employees of his Pullman Palace Car Company. Today, visitors can stop by the Pullman Factory where the railroad cars were constructed, the Hotel Florence, named for his daughter, and the A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum, which documents the first African American labor union in the country.
