Grateful for the opportunity to visit in a private preview the Robert McCormick House at Cantigny in Wheaton, Illinois. This amazing property, once viewable only from the exterior by Cantigny visitors, was the home of the creator of the Tribune Company, WGN Radio & Television and the namesake to The McCormick Place in Chicago. Now has a schedule of viewing of the interior starting with a grand opening April 25, 2026. A visit to Cantigny also includes the First Army Museum featuring the army tanks as well as an equally amazing set of two museums honoring the military from World War I through the present. An absolute must to visit this season. Visit cantigny.org for dates and times for viewing the McCormick House and First Army Museums. Admission is priced as parking fee by type of vehicle. www.cantigny,org
