If you love history or you love flowers, Cantigny Park is a beautiful place to enjoy both. If you have kids between 7 to 12, there is a lot for them to see. Pay for parking, but admission to the Park's museums is free. The estate of the late editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune, who started WGN radio and WGN TV, Colonel Robert T. McCormick, has been maintained as a legacy and a monument to the 1st Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. The museum is devoted to the role of the Big Red 1 in wars from WWI to WWII to Vietnam, Desert Storm, Afghanistan and Iraq. The guided tour of the house is a treasure trove for any history buff.
