We met at Graceland Cemetery in Chicago. One of our members has given tours there before and took us on a walking tour. It was a beautiful fall day, about 70 degrees.
This cemetery is where several prominent early Chicagoans are buried. Above is the monument for architect Louis Sullivan. Others buried there are developer Potter Palmer, retailer Marshall Field, architect Mies van der Rohe, piano manufacturer William Kimball, and railroad car maker George Pullman.
It was nice to walk in this beautiful cemetery and learn some interesting tidbits of Chicago History.
