Just a short ride on the L train from Chicago is a gem of a destination for savvy travelers and history buffs. The unassuming suburban charm of the Village of Oak Park, Illinois, belies its historical significance - its home to the worlds largest number of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed structures and also is the birthplace of American author Ernest Hemingway. In addition to a wealth of historical interest, Oak Park offers international cuisine, a full events calendar, a walkable downtown and family-oriented attractions.

An Architectural Treasure

Frank Lloyd Wright spent the first 20 years of his career, from 1889 to 1909, in Oak Park. In the Frank Lloyd Wright District, dozens of private homes and several public structures display his distinctive Prairie School architecture. A guided walking tour highlights significant sites, including the architects home and studio and the Unity Temple, a National Historic Landmark that recently underwent a restoration that cost $25 million U.S. dollars. The Wright Plus Housewalk in May offers a rare chance to see interiors of privately owned Wright-designed homes. Architecture fans will also enjoy exploring the Gunderson District, the Ridgeland-Oak Park Historic District, George W. Mahers Pleasant Home and the neighboring town of Riverside, designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and home to more than 70 notable designs from 20th-century architects.

A Hemingway HistoryPulitzer- and Nobel Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway is usually associated with Cuba, Spain or Key West, but he was born in Oak Park in 1899. His birthplace, a circa 1890 Queen Anne-style home, was the first in town to have electricity. After serving as a rental property for 80 years, the house was meticulously restored to its original beauty by the Ernest Hemingway Foundation. A tour of his birthplace is a must when visiting Oak Park.
