Wilbert Stroeve of the Chicago Map Society will compare a 1905 guide used to navigate from Chicago to Lake Geneva and Beloit with photos of the same scenes a century later.
The book shows a Chicago region that has been transformed — and even more remarkable, a few scenes that have remained unchanged. Whether you want to journey from Chicago to Lake Geneva, or just travel through time, you’ll enjoy the trip!
