The tour will provide views of the plan, from original lantern slides shown to municipal authorities, to planned elevated perspectives over the city and the waterfront.

An afternoon guided motor coach tour, led by Dennis McClendon, will highlight aspects of the plan (as realized), including a straightened section of the Chicago River, lakefront development, outlying boulevards and woodland preserves.

A walking tour of Lincoln Park, guided by Sally Kitt Chappell, will examine noted features of the park and neighborhood, including the recently rehabilitated prairie-style Alfred Caldwell lily pool, designated a Chicago Landmark in 2002. Plans are in the works for an exclusive tour-participants-only narrated sunset architectural boat tour along the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.
