In the second half of the 1800s there were many attempts to realize the dream of creating a "Utopian Industrial Town." Arguably the best example anywhere was built in Chicago by George Pullman, owner of the famous railroad car company. Located in what he considered the most ideal location in the U.S., the development known as "Pullmantown" was designed to meet the daily needs of its workers, provide profit for the company's shareholders, and produce rail cars prodigiously. View the industrial, commercial, and residential ensemble of buildings designed to maximize productivity while providing a healthy and happy environment for the employees for one of the first truly global industries. Tim Wittman introduces you to this amazing development, which is now one of America's few urban National Parks. Lunch at Harborside International Golf Center. Includes lunch, tour, and transportation.
