All my routes can be seen by car as well. I am a Certified Tour Guide & member of the Chicago Tour-Guide Professionals Association and a former docent with the Chicago Architecture Foundation for 5 years.

Excellent 2-hour guided tour of Chicago's Graceland Cemetery by Mimi. She provided the historical perspective of how Graceland Cemetery was created and then guided us to many of the gravesites of famous Chicago residents buried at Graceland Cemetery.
