Review:
Originally built as a place to produce the famous Pullman sleeping car, the Pullman National Monument was the first planned industrial community in the United States. The Pullman company officially went out of business in 1969, leading to proposals to demolish the community, but residents gathered together and petitioned the government to recognize the site as an important historic place.
They succeeded. Decades later, in 2015, the district was named a National Monument and the area became part of the National Park System. As such, there is no fee to view the monument, but donations are gratefully accepted.
Pullman National Monument, 11141 S Cottage Grove Ave, Chicago, Illinois 60628, Phone: 773-264-7431
