  • This tour was one of the best that I’ve been on. Our tour guide gave so much historical information, which I really appreciated. He called out certain things to note, shared photos, personal experiences and stories of what has happened during his tours. He let us ask questions, tell our own stories, and had all the things a ghost hunter would need (and let us try them!) I will definitely be booking in the future, but probably when it’s a little warmer out.

Only one building remains standing on the old 1893 Fairgrounds in Chicago’s Jackson Park today: the former Palace of Fine Arts which now houses the spectacular Museum of Science and Industry. After the Fair ended the building first became the Field Columbian Museum, today’s Field Museum of Natural History. While most of the Fair buildings—some of them much larger—were built of something called staff--a medium comprised of concrete, woven jute and plaster--,the Palace of Fine Arts had been built with a base of stone to protect the priceless masterpieces inside, which had come from collections around the world.
