A free juried art walk across more than 40 homes, businesses and galleries in the Beverly and Morgan Park neighborhoods, organized by the Beverly Area Arts Alliance. Trolleys shuttle visitors between stops along the roughly mile long stretch of 111th Street and side streets each fall. It has run on the last Saturday of September for over a decade.
The history within reach
Black business leaders founded this cemetery in 1911 because most burial grounds around Chicago would not take Black families.
Settlers moving on the Vincennes Trace stopped on this low wooded ridge in the 1830s because it sat about one day's journey out of Chicago, and the way station turned into a town.
Joshua P.
Libby, McNeill and Libby built its main Midwest processing plant here between 1917 and 1919 to a design by Philip Larmon.
Robbins was incorporated in December 1917 and is the second oldest African American incorporated town in the North, after Brooklyn, Illinois.
