Located on a quiet brick paved street, lies this beautiful old mansion filled to the brim with history. My husband and I spent about 1 1/2 hrs here learning about the Staley family and company. The exhibits, photographs, artifacts, and information are rich with interesting details of business and innovation as it was in the glory days of manufacturing in the USA. They also have a room dedicated to the formation of the Chicago Bears and personal items from some of the Staley family socialites. My husband and I could have even spent more time here but it was closing time. This is definetely worth the price of admission if you like self guided tours and good quality history.
