The house is absolutely stunning. From the decor in the house to the furnishings that some are hundreds of years old. By far one of the best places to visit at the park if you have an hour to spend to take the tour it's worth it. To see all the different secrets that are hidden in the house like the serving calling button and the secret bar in the library. If you have the time definitely take a stop by and take the tour.

Is very interesting to go back in time & learn more about history. This place is free to the public.

The Robert R. McCormick Museum is a stunning 35-room mansion that was the home of Chicago Tribune Editor and Publisher Colonel Robert McCormick. Completed in 1897, the mansion is filled with period artifacts from the Civil War through the early 1900’s. One favorite is the handwritten letter from Abraham Lincoln to the Chicago Tribune requesting a back issue in November 1860. Amazing. The ponds and fountains and serene. There are dozens of formal and informal gardens and a wide variety of flowers and trees. (See photos.) The Mansion is open most days for tours. It was cool seeing where scenes from Tom Hank’s "A League of Their Own" were shot. There are a number of different tours but the Full House tour shows you the most. The staff obviously love being here. Admission to the mansion/museum is free. You pay a $10 fee per carload as you come into McCormick’s Cantigny Park. Allow time to see the other sites at Cantigny including the extraordinary Big Red One First Division US Army Military Museum and dozens of tanks and vehicles you can climb. There is also a 27-hole golf course, playgrounds, a gift shop and restaurant. Cantigny is usually open daily except January and Mondays and is about 30 miles west of Chicago. See the cantigny organization website for schedules.

Nice tour of a pretty home. Tour guide, Kristin, was awesome. Only draw back was that the check in desk is located in the room where the video is shown and there were several interruptions.
