Sheffield Neighbors Walking Tour

Join Chicago for Chicagoans for a walking tour of Sheffield Neighbors, covering neighborhood history, architecture, & current developments.

REGISTRATION AVAILABLE BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 19TH

Chicago for Chicagoans is delighted to announce the return of our two-hour walk through Sheffield Neighbors — a historic community on the eastern side of Lincoln Park! Led by local resident Olivia Sobieraj, this tour will awaken you to the rich history and gorgeous Victorian architecture of this quiet pocket neighborhood.

Beginning at the Armitage Brown Line, you'll explore landmarked row homes and several unique micro-districts, learn about cabage farmers, famous businesses, and ornate churches, and discover how midcentury gentrification changed the composition of the community forever. The afternoon will end at Annette's Italian Ice, where participants are encouraged to enjoy a tasty treat with the group!
