Oak Park Charter Bus

Why Take an Oak Park Shuttle Bus?

Oak Park has lots of history for a city of 52,000 people. Famous people like gangster Sam Giancana, writer Ernest Hemingway, entrepreneur Ray Kroc, and architect Frank Lloyd Wright all called Oak Park home at one point or another.

Few places have as many ties to the gangsters who use to run the Chicagoland area than Oak Park. Now you have the chance to travel back in time with the Oak Park and River Forest Gangster Tour.

The gangster tour takes you through iconic gangster spots in the area, so you can experience what is was like when men like Giancana, Frank Rio, Jack McGurn, or Rocco DeGrazia lived in Oak Park

If gangs are not your thing, then maybe your group wants to explore the childhood home of Ernest Hemingway. His birthplace home is now a museum that gives an authentic view of Victorian life at the turn of the 20th century.

The museum also explores the development of one of the greatest writers in American history.

Once you finish at the Hemingway Museum, walk less than half a mile to see the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio. Wright did some of the most ground-breaking work in American architectural history right from this studio.

You should also consider visiting the Pleasant Home. George Maher, another legend in architecture, built this iconic landmark Victorian mansion in 1897. The Pleasant Home is the only Maher home on the National Historic Landmark open to the public.
