## Resource

What happens when one man tries to build the perfect world — and his workers say enough is enough? Welcome to Pullman, one of the most fascinating and layered history destinations in the entire United States. In this episode, we're diving deep into Pullman National Historical Park on Chicago's far South Side, a place where utopian dreams, brutal corporate control, a nation-shaking labor strike, and the roots of the African American Civil Rights Movement all collide in one remarkable neighborhood. We cover everything you need to know before you visit: ✅ The story of George Pullman and his ambitious "model town" built for railroad workers in 1880 ✅ What daily life was REALLY like inside this company-controlled community ✅ The explosive Pullman Strike of 1894 — how 250,000 workers across 27 states brought the national rail system to its knees 🥾 FREE to visit | Open Wednesday–Sunday, 10AM–4PM | 610 E. 111th Street, Chicago, IL Hosted on Acast.
