Hidden History of Lincoln Park

Hidden History of Lincoln Park

Before Lincoln Park cemented its trendy reputation, plenty of odd and unruly history managed to settle into its foundation. A Viking ship, mob henchmen and ladies of the evening all took up residence in the same part of town where Dwight L. Moody went from selling soles to saving souls. Thanks to a Confederate ferryboat crewman, many of Lincolns personal effects belong to the neighborhood named after him. Patrick Butler uncovers Lincoln Parks forgotten contributions to Chicagos heritage, from the Pleasure Wheel on Navy Pier to the citys cycling craze.
