Celebrate 250 years of the American experiment with a journey through the living history of faith in Chicago. Hop aboard our 5th Annual Chicago Interfaith Trolley Tour to explore the vibrant religious and cultural landscape of the city in and around Hyde Park.
With a special focus on architecture and history, participants will learn about the faith traditions rooted in each space, the stories embodied in their buildings, and the interfaith collaborations that strengthen our shared civic life. At a time when the nation reflects on 250 years, the Chicago Interfaith Trolley Tour highlights how local communities model coexistence, hospitality, and mutual understanding. Through storytelling, scholarship, and shared experience, this event offers a fun, educational, and welcoming way to encounter the spiritual expressions that shape Chicago, and America, today.
