| CRHS President Rob Bitunjac at the 2012 bus tour |
The three-hour bus tour is designed to offer a wealth of information on the people and events that helped make Garfield Ridge the unique and interesting place it is.
Some of the highlights may include the Chicago Portage, remnants of Mud Lake, Long John Wentworth's "Summit" farm at Archer and Neva, a church that was a key part of Garfield Ridge's little-known Dutch heritage, remnants of the time when Garfield Ridge was a "gated" community, the quirky "house in the alley" and much more.
