The fall foliage is the perfect backdrop to explore and learn about historic Ravinia. Begin your day in the Martin Theater inside Ravinia Festival where Art Miller, distinguished local historian and author, will discuss the development of the arts venue that we all know so well. See Ravinia at the turn of the 20th Century in a presentation that will give a new perspective on this local gem and the development of Ravinia and Highland Park.
Hop on the trolley and head to the Ravinia Business District or stay aboard and take a short tour around several significant Ravinia sites. A docent aboard the trolley will provide anecdotes about the people and places that put Ravinia on the map.
Drop by the Historic Ravinia Resource Center (AKA Full Circle Architects) at 737 St. Johns Avenue in Highland Park for refreshments, an exhibit, and interesting facts about Jens Jensen and the Ravinia Village House.
Information on self-guided architectural tours, maps and brochures will be available.
