Interior of the Frank L Wright Home Studio in Western Chicago

Just because there is no charge to go into the Conservatory doesn't mean that it's not interesting! The Conservatory offers a variety of horticulture lectures, workshops and gardening demonstrations aimed at providing gardeners of any level with the information, resources and hands-on training they need to cultivate thriving gardens and green spaces.

Wouldn't it be nice to bring all that information home with you from your travels of the USA? Garfield Park Conservatory is open all year round from 9am-5pm and Thursdays until 8pm.

When you are done seeing Garfield Park Conservatory, go see another famed site in Westside Chicago, the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio. You can see examples of his famed architecture in many cities when you travel the USA, but the Westside is Frank Lloyd Wright's home base. Choose from one of the many tour packages such as, Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio Guided Tour, Historic District Self-Guided Audio Tour, Combination Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio +
Historic District Self-Guided Exterior Audio Tour, Historic District Guided Walking Tour, Junior Architecture Tour, Victorian Christmas Tour, Wright Plus Housewalk or Sunday ArchiTrek Tours. These tours do sell out, so get your tickets early!

Another home to check out when you travel the USA is the childhood home and museum of famed author Ernest Hemingway. Visiting the Home and Museum gives you an idea of the  influence and impact that the family and the community had on the early life of the Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning author. The tour lasts approximately 90 minutes. It is suggested that you begin your tour at the Museum which will give you greater insight into the home.

Travel the USA to Chicago's Westside and enjoy the greenery, architecture and history.
