I recently became a member of the Chicago Architecture Foundation - and could not think of any better way to spend my Halloween afternoon than on a tour of Graceland Cemetery. The cemetery is beautiful and very well kept - and it was a beautiful, sunny and crisp fall day. Aside from the occasional rumbling of the train - it was an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city.
We saw the graves of many distinguished Chicagoans - ranging from Marshall Field to Louis Sullivan to Daniel Burnham to the Pullmans, the Palmers, the Kinzies, the Kimballs, the Carsons, the Piries and the Scotts. There was even a headstone for a Whipple.
