Pullman House Project and Pullman Club Coffee Shop | Chicago, IL

Come with our expert guide and walk in the footsteps of the men and women who lived and worked in the town George Pullman built in 1880.
About this Event

Our tours start at the largest single family home in Pullman, the home of the former General Manager. This 4,500 square foot, three story home has been recently renovated to serve as the Welcome Center for the tour program and includes exhibits, visitor orientation and also home of the Pullman Club Coffee Shop.

Our expert guides will escort visitors to see the interior of selected houses, recreated to evoke a time when migrant and immigrant families came to Pullman to live and work, all contributing to shape Pullman and the America we know today.

The Pullman House Project is sponsored by the Bielenberg Historic Pullman House Foundation, a 501 C3 not for profit organization. The Foundation is an interpretive programmatic partner organization to the National Park Service Pullman National Historical Park.
