Pullman National Monument in Chicago is just one of a handful of national parks accessible by transit. On Friday, June 21 you’ll have the opportunity to ride the rails to Pullman with NPCA, Metra and the National Park Service!
In honor of NPCA’s 100th anniversary, we are hosting four trains from downtown Chicago to Pullman National Monument capped with a walking tour of this great historic neighborhood provided by park rangers. Along the way, you will hear about how Pullman became a national monument through the support of thousands of national park advocates like you.
Pullman honors the unique stories of America’s industrial past, labor history, including formation of the first African American labor union, urban planning and development of the country’s first model industrial town.
