Description


I was asked by the Chicago History Museum to lead this series of rides based on the book, The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. The ride explores the sites of the World's Fair, accompanied by discussion from the book on the 1893 World's Fair, and the nasty business conducted in Englewood by America's first serial killer, H. H. Holmes.

The tour is authored by people that REALLY know what they are doing, namely the folks at the Chicago History Museum. The cost is $20 for members, and $25 for non-members. I still host at least monthly free tours which people are always welcome to attend, but the fees for the Chicago History Museum benefit a very worthy organization, and they have put together some good material to accompany a nice bike ride along Chicago's lake front.

There is a ride each month from June through October. They are always on Sundays and we leave directly at 8:30 AM so get there early.

Here are the dates for all of the rides:

June 7
July 12
August 16
September 13
October 4
