The U505 and the Chicago Tribune: A Voyage Through Red Tape
The German WWII U-505 submarine has a truly fascinating history. After its capture during WWII, it was designated to be used as target practice. But three Chicagoans, including Chicago Tribune publisher Robert R. McCormick, stepped in to save it from destruction. Jeffrey Anderson, exhibit coordinator and assistant curator of the Museums at Cantigny, will share how and why the last remaining Type IXC U-boat in existence came to reside in Chicago.

Not only will you experience spectacular views of nature, you will also learn more about The Grove’s history as we hike to the Native American Indian Village, the Pioneer Log Cabin, the Blacksmith’s Shop, and the Historic 1856 Kennicott House. This is a relatively easy hike accessible to a wide range of walkers and a great way to learn about and appreciate the flora and fauna of Illinois and the history of The Grove.
