Cantigny Park is the estate of the late Colonel Robert R. McCormick who was owner and editor of the Chicago Tribune and the grandson of Joseph Medill, the owner and editor of the Chicago Tribune in the 1860s. Attractions include the mansion, gardens, a golf course, picnic area and the First (Infantry) Division Museum with tank park - in case you have family with you. It is a lovely, well-maintained venue that I consider to be quite safe (should that be a concern).

Took our grandchildren to see the tanks and walk through the museum- the exhibits are outstanding and very realistic. I'm sure this program will be first rate. Thanks for the heads up.
