Mystery Tour Adventure Start!

What an amazing start to our Mystery Tour! Our group embarked on the Historical and Architectural Lake & River Tour aboard the vintage 1937 fireboat, the Fred A. Busse. Although it was a scorcher of a day, it was great to be out on the waters of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. We set sail from DuSable Harbor, cruised through the Chicago locks, and navigated the beautiful Chicago River while taking in the beautiful Chicago skyline and learning about the different buildings.

Everyone enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable ride exploring the same waterways where this incredible vessel once bravely fought fires and provided emergency assistance. A perfect blend of history, architecture, and a bit of adventure on the water!

Thanks to everyone who joined us. We can't wait to share more adventures with you soon!

Our Trailways Travelers have arrived in Massachusetts, The Bay State, today and stopped to have lunch on the verandah/terrace of The Mount, the Edith Wharton home. While many of us were not familiar with Edith and her works, we certainly were familiar once we left thanks to our fabulous guide, Bob! Wondering who Edith was? She was a renowned American novelist and short story writer known for her incisive depictions of Gilded Age society. She made history as the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1921 for her novel The Age of Innocence. This achievement marked a significant milestone in the recognition of women in American literature. But she wrote many books about architecture and home décor which she utilized in the building of The Mount, her writer’s retreat. She also penned books about gardening as well and obviously created some beautiful gardens there as well. It was a gorgeous day to wander through the gardens and then we were able to walk back up to the house utilizing the ‘built in’ steps in the lawn as you can see in one of the photos.

Stay tuned, more to come!
