Chicago is one of the most modern cutting-edge urban areas in the United States. However, like all modern cities, it only became that way over a long period of time during which a rich and interesting history was developed. You may go to Chicago today to see modern Broadway shows and to eat at the city’s top twenty-first century restaurants, but you should not neglect to explore the history of Chicago while you are there. From the architectural sites of interest to the monuments marking important periods of the past, Chicago is a city where the number of historic landmarks that there are to see will probably require more days than you have in your vacation.
