11 AM to 5 PM

Don’t miss the 52nd Annual Historic Pullman House Tour at Pullman National Historical Park. This beloved tradition offers visitors a rare opportunity to step into some of the most historically significant and beautifully restored homes in one of America’s most celebrated planned industrial communities.

Pullman House Tour is more than an invitation to explore history—it’s a vital fundraiser. Proceeds support ongoing preservation, restoration, and educational programming that help maintain Pullman’s architectural treasures so that its unique story can be shared with the world.

This year’s tour features eight residential properties, each carefully selected to showcase the neighborhood’s rich architectural diversity and heritage. It’s an incredible chance for National Park visitors to see one of Chicago’s most historic neighborhoods, inside and out.

Pullman House Tour sites:

Eight restored Pullman homes including a unique Pullman apartment
A home currently under renovation as it transitions from a two-flat into a spacious single-family residence
Explore the Pullman School on Forrestville Avenue, erected circa 1910 as a symbol of the community’s dedication to education

Entertainment & Special Events:

Saturday: Live jazz with the Qombo Jazz Group
Sunday: DJ entertainment plus the Pullman Classic Car Show 10 am to 2 pm

Tour hours are 11 am – 5 pm each day. Start at Historic Pullman Exhibit Hall located at 11141 S. Cottage Grove Ave.

Comfortable walking shoes are recommended as the tour covers multiple sites within the neighborhood.
