- TooBigToFailMontclair, NJ2 contributionsRoad bikes through the campus. Lovely place, right on the lake! The architecture conforms well with the landscape and modernity fits in with the older parts of the campus.Written June 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- muzique1960Woodridge, IL367 contributionsAn amazingly complete and beautiful museum! You have to see it to believe it - the collection of Tiffany (much more than stained glass!), clocks of every shape and size. The text by each item is detailed and very interesting.Written July 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 507adventureloverPort Washington, Wisconsin237 contributionsThis is a small but powerful museum. It provides an geographical overview of the regions occupied by native Americans so that one can make comparisons of lifestyles. It can be visited leisurely in an hour and half.Written August 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lori1019Chicago, Illinois196 contributionsWonderful, intimate venue. Very easy parking and great neighborhood. Love supporting this place.

- jgbtravelsLouisville, KY3,732 contributionsSince we were working our way down from the Chicago Botanic Garden and down to the Baha’i House of Worship it made sense to stop here. Only a 4 minute drive from the Baha’i House of Worship it would be a shame not to take a peek. It’s a stunningly beautiful lighthouse next to a park with a parking lot. We were able to take a few pix and enjoy the peace and serenity of the area near Lake Michigan. We followed the route along the lake from the Chicago Botanic Garden to finally the Grosse Pointe Lighthouse which was much more scenic.Written August 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- shyr94Metamora, IL42 contributionsMy wife and I visited the tap room on a Sunday afternoon with a friend who lives nearby and recommended this spot. There was only one other person in the place when we got there but it quickly filled up. I sampled a flight of beers which were great and would definitely come back for a second visit. The tap room is small so I imagine this place fills up fast on the weekends.Written March 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
