Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool

This is one of the most hidden and most beautiful spots in all of Chicago. A lily pond gated and tucked away, thermally heated from below and built in the 1940s with exotic plants from all over the world. This design is intended to “mimic a riverformed by a melting glacier’s flow of water cutting through limestone” according to Julia Brachrah, the Chicago Park District historian. The architect behind this beautiful pond, Alfred Caldwell, said that he'd planned the it as "a hidden garden of the people of Megalopolis," and in many ways that's exactly what it is today. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through here as one of the many stops on our tour.

Couch Mausoleum

One of the oldest standing structures in all of Chicago and definitively the oldest above ground structure in Lincoln Park, this tomb contains the remains of Ira Couch. The couch family gave up tending to this mausoleum long ago but now the city foots the bill because in addition to being a historical landmark it's just really cool. This kicks off our haunted section off the tour- Lincoln Park is built on one of the first graveyards in Chicago and before it was relocated to make way for a park it was massive. The city finally had to move the caskets due to sanitary conditions. They were buried near marsh lands, and would wash ashore when the lake levels began to rise. The decomposed remains also infected drinking water – causing several cholera outbreaks. Experts say over 12,000 people were buried here and in 1998 they found at least 80 more in unmarked graves..untold more could remain in the park to this very day. Option to extend tour and see all the ghostly sites avail when booking!

North State Parkway

Although this stop is technically in Gold Coast, it's right next to Lincoln Park and on one of the prettiest streets in all of Chicago. Cruising down this road seeing some of the oldest and most fabulous mansions in the city will leave Sinatra's lyrics to Chicago echoing in your mind,"On State Street, that great street, I just want to say They do things they don't do on Broadway They have the time, the time of their life I saw a man, he danced with his wife In Chicago, Chicago, my hometown."
