Join historian Art Miller as he discusses the significance of the innovative, curvilinear, 1857 Lake Forest plan designed by landscape architect Almerin Hotchkiss. This plan was instrumental in both the development of transport enabled garden-city suburbs of large cities and in the evolution of Lake Forest itself as it expanded westward to include Green Bay Road, West Park, and Deerpath Hills National Register Historic Districts, Edward Bennett’s 1925 Knollwood Club neighborhood and other enclaves.
Arthur Miller is Emeritus Archivist and Librarian for Special Collections at Lake Forest College and Honorary Director of the Lake Forest Preservation Foundation.
We are delighted to co-present this program with the History Center Lake Forest - Lake Bluff.
