I picked out my most favorite pictures I took in chicago and half of them was at the The Pullman Park National Monument. Superficialness aside, this is definitely a must see for tourists and/or people who love photo opportunities! Im surprised that something so simple as putting a bunch of light posts together can be so pretty, romantic, beautiful, etc.

The history of the area is very interesting. It will be do much nicer when the finish the renovations of the factory and the Florence Hotel. The man that greeted us at the visitors center was knowledgeable and really personable. He made us feel right at home and welcome.

Terrific day trip for history or architecture lovers. Be sure to call ahead for a guided tour of both the Florence Hotel and the Pullman Factory. Neighborhood walking tours are self guided.

Very nice quiet neighborhood. Lots of historical background. I grew up in Pullman. They have tours so you can really get the feel of the homes that were built in the 1800s. Also garden tours. Pullman is being revamped. Lots of new businesses in the neighborhood. Take a tour. Im sure youll enjoy it!

The famous Pullman train cars were built here. Also hallowed ground for the hobos.

Had a great visit, I look forward to coming back in a couple years when the new “old” building is open.

Beautiful architecture quiet nice place to read a book or just relax with a cup of coffee.

Loved the tour and information learned.

We did the annual house walk. The homes were beautiful and all unique from each other. We had some tasty grilled food outside of the visitors center while listening to a local band. I would definitely do it again.

Awesome, educational and well put together

A place where community comes together!

Established as a National Monument in 2015, Pullman is an important addition to the National Park service as one of the few sites in the system commemorating the nations labor history. Few sites of any kind in the U.S. are as important to the history of working people. The struggles that workers and their unions engaged in at Pullman, especially the 1893 strike, shaped the U.S. labor movement. What makes Pullman especially unique is that so much of the original architecture of the community has been preserved. Walking into Pullman is like walking back into the late 19th century, but not in the faux, kitschy way of many living history sites, but instead into a real, living community and one in which many residents continue to embrace the communities historic significance and continue the struggles started by their predecessors over 100 years ago. Best time to visit Pullman is during their annual Labor Day celebration. Make sure to stop at the visitors center and take a walking tour of the community.

Fascinating historic place.... currently the visitors center is housed in a non-profits building, so we have a non-profit organization subsidizing what the current federal administration refuses to fund...... so it goes.

The Pullman State Historic Site is has been designated Pullman National Monument by President Barack Obama. I have passed by the historical former train car factory since childhood. It gives me a sense of pride to see the Southside of Chicago have this honor. I also stopped by the Pullman Visitors Center.

This address may have been a museum, but it was originally the Hotel Florence and is now being restored as such. Not much sightseeing other than to walk around it and read the signs. Do not start here. Start at the visitors center.

Really well done museum, appreciated the insights they shared and walking map they gave us to see the area.

Beautiful area, the factory complex and Hotel Florence are amazing pieces of history. There are tours on certain Sundays. Theres a cafe.

We liked to walk there. You can find 2 beautiful alleys with the old paintings

This is a great place to find out what our an sisters did in the past my uncle was a Pullman porter

It is very helpful and gives me alot of info about the pullman district.

Chicago union history as made here. Very cool.

As seen in the Zanucks film The Road to Perdition.
