The Illinois St. Andrew's Society had a trip to Lake Forest College this summer as one of their outing. (Note that it's only about 30 miles from downtown Chicago to Lake Forest, so it's not that far of a drive...)


The Scots of Lake Forest
Scottish American History Club Bus Tour
July 17, 2010-- 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.


By charter bus, the tour will leave the Scottish Home and travel to Lake Forest, Illinois. First stop will be the former home of Ogden Armour which is now the home of Lake Forest Academy. We will enjoy a box lunch and have a tour of the Academy.

After lunch, the tour will continue through the community by bus and see various homes where Scottish people have lived. Lake Forest has a rich Scottish history, perhaps the most concentrated area of Scots in Illinois. You will have an opportunity to see Lake Forest College, founded by Scots, the lake shore of Lake Michigan, and if time allows, perhaps the cemetery.
