About Pullman National Historical Park
Pullman National Historical Park preserves the original factory and town built by George M. Pullman for his railway car company employees in the 1880s, offering visitors a unique look into a planned industrial community. This site is notable for being the location of the 1894 Pullman Strike, a pivotal moment in American labor relations, and for the innovative urban planning concepts employed in its design. It also highlights the experiences of workers and African American porters who played a crucial role in the company's success and the development of the civil rights movement. Located at 610 E 111th St, Chicago, IL 60628, the park's visitor center and grounds are open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with free admission; plan your visit and learn more at www.nps.gov/pull/index.htm.
