HYDE PARK — The Jackson Park Advisory Council will slowly work through all the former sites of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition during free weekly tours through October.
“We’re doing the whole fairgrounds, it will be a different site each week,” said Louise McCurry, president of the advisory council and one of the tour guides.
The first walking tour starts at 11 a.m. Saturday and starts in the parking lot south of the Museum of Science and Industry, 5700 S. Lake Shore Drive.
The Saturday tour will cover the site of the Palace of Fine Arts (now the Museum of Science and Industry), the Wooded Island and the sites of the former state exposition buildings.
Consecutive tours will move south through the park towards La Rabida Children’s Hospital.
