To mark the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, CHM director of exhibitions Paul Durica has adapted his blog post on the Chicago connections to the book into a one-time walking tour!  

Learn about Chicago's relationship to the novel and the real-life inspirations behind characters Jordan Baker, Tom Buchanan, and Gatsby’s great, unobtainable love, Daisy Fay Buchanan, on a walk along the mansion-lined streets of Chicago’s Gold Coast.
