Due to a high demand on ticket sales for the previous "Welcome to the Neighbor Hood" tour, the Historical Society has planned TWO more tour dates.  The dates are September 24 and October 8.  Noted historian and author of The Chicago Outfit, River Forest resident John Binder will serve as your tour guide as we travel by trolley through the neighborhoods of Oak Park and River Forest visiting the homes of the leaders of Chicago organized crime who once called the idyllic western suburbs their home.  Price for this two-hour tour is $35 for non-members of the Historical Society and $25 for members. 

Seating is limited to 30 passengers per tour time and reservations must be made in advance requesting specific time-10:30 am; 1:00 pm; or 4:00 pm.  Tickets go on sale August 21 at 9 am.  Payment is required at time of reservation and we accept cash, check, or Visa, Master Card, and Discover.  Please make checks payable to The Historical Society of OPRF. 

Trolley leaves promptly from Pleasant Home, 217 Home Home Ave. Oak Park.  You must arrive at least 15 minutes before tour time to guarantee that your seating reservation will not be given away.  There are no rain dates.
