Jackson (Andrew) Park

Dit is ook in de Chicagokamer, vlak bij de universiteit van Chicago, naast het grote meer. Maar er zijn echt weinig mensen. Er zijn hier enkele bekende kopieën van bouwwerken en schilderijen, die niet verenigbaar zijn met de omgeving, het gevoel is erg vreemd.

Jackson Park was transformed into the fair grounds for the 1893 World's Fair by Frederick Law Olmsted (of Central Park fame). While the park has changed over the years, many original designs remain, including a manmade lagoon and some of the original light posts. Don't miss the Statue of the Republic, a smaller-scale replica of the original statue that serves as a symbol of the fair.

Cross the bridge over the lagoon. Voila - Japanese tranquility. Look back towards the Museum of Science & Industry. You may spy the ghost of Clarence Darrow.

Beautiful place!!!!!

This is so so beautiful...Hope your there when it is sunny...I was here in the fall & froze to death
