Chicago has at least 77 neighborhoods (it depends on who you ask), each with its own histories, evolutions, landmarks, and unique characteristics. The "Chicago's Neighborhoods" series reveals these stories and highlights the diversity of this wonderful city.
Chicago has one of the largest Ukrainian-American populations in the country, and it is most concentrated in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood. Ukrainian immigrants began settling in the neighborhood as early as the 1880s and later established community anchors celebrating their culture, like Saint Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral, the Ukrainian Cultural Center, the Ukrainian National Museum, and Louis Sullivan's Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral. It's a really fascinating neighborhood to explore!
All of this and so much more will be featured on this upcoming virtual tour on Facebook Live. Throughout this interactive experience, I will be reacting to your comments and answering your questions as we're together strolling through Ukrainian Village. There is no charge for the live-streamed tour, but tips are appreciated and you can see the variety of ways to send them here.
Register for this virtual event for free here and then log into Facebook at the start time to watch the live-stream. Make sure you follow Tours With Mike on Facebook to stay informed of all future virtual tours. I hope to see you on this one!
