About This Tour
The company’s original walking tour through downtown. It runs from the city’s original courthouse and the site of the old Cook County gallows to the river where 844 people died in the Eastland disaster, with a stop at bullet holes from the gangland days. The listing calls it the original Chicago ghost tour, built on the company’s own research.
