April Living History Program

Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society presents Northwestern University Associate Professor of Education Bill Savage, a life-long Rogers Park resident, who will relate the story of another figure from Rogers Park history.

Edward P. Brennan lived for many years on the 6400 block of North Wayne and is buried in Calvary Cemetery. His effort to make Chicago a “City Logical” means old-timers and newcomers alike can make their way around town without the aid of street maps or GPS, while exceptions to his rules of the Chicago grid remind us of important historical lessons. 

 Event is free, but register seats.
