Nike Missile Site C-44

Historical landmark

👍👍 This is the actual location of the missile silos. The other listing is a restored missile on display near the entrance of the park/preserve. It's a fair hike to get back here as the road is closed off very close to the main road, but it is worth it. There isn't a whole heck of a lot to see. Concrete...

Ida B. Wells-Barnett House

👍👍 Love, love, love this home and it's history! If you're thinking about visiting, consider the book, "Lifting As They Climbed: Making a History if Black Women in Chicago's South side". It takes readers on a tour of locations connected to Black women (including Ida B. Wells) and so many others who help...
