AIC's 45th Annual Meeting

Join Krista August, author of Giants in the Park for a walking tour highlighting Lincoln Park's numerous sculptures. She will discuss the fascinating histories behind several of the park's "giants" including, The Alarm, LaSalle, Lincoln, Grant, and Fountain Girl (originally named Willard Fountain, for Evanston's Frances Willard). She will also discuss the broader history of the park, including "missing" statuary and the park's cemetery years. August has been leading walking and biking tours in Chicago for many years, guiding people through the city for the Chicago Architecture Foundation.
