    Show Me Your Neighborhood -

    Presidential Chicago: Lincoln, Obama, & More Walking Tour

    Tuesday, October 22 from 2:00-4:00 pm

    Starts next to the Statue of Nathan Hale in front of Tribune Tower

    Capacity is limited and registration is required


    Other tour guide organizations offer Show Me Your Neighborhood programs where guides take other members on walking tours highlighting what makes their areas special. The Chicago Tour-Guide Professionals Association (CTPA) periodically offered these programs before 2020, and we would like to make it a regular occurrence!

    Chicago has hosted 26 Presidential nomination conventions, far more than any other city. Stroll through downtown Chicago with CTPA President Mike McMains discovering these stories and many other historical sites politically shaping the country. To help supplement the experience, attendees will have access to a hidden webpage with historical photos and videos they can view on their own mobile devices. This is a very timely, one-of-a-kind tour in advance of next month's Election Day.

    For CTPA Show Me Your Neighborhood tours:

    • The cost is $5 per ticket with all of the proceeds going to the guide,
    • CTPA members can register non-CTPA guests to join them on the tour,
    • The waitlist is automatically activated if the tour reaches its 25-person limit,
    • Registrants can get their tickets fully refunded if they cancel their own registrations on the CTPA calendar page with 48 hours notice, and
    • CTPA members can email CTPAofficers@googlegroups.com if they would like to host their own Show Me Your Neighborhood tour.

    We hope you can join this Presidential Chicago tour and that there are many other Show Me Your Neighborhood experiences in the near future!

    We have an exciting CTPA meeting coming up, and here is the agenda:

    • 5:00-5:30 pm: We will have a casual reception with refreshments where you can talk with your fellow CTPA members.
    • 5:30-6:30 pm: Roosevelt University professor and founder of Service Speaks Solutions Stephanie Leese Emrich is presenting on trends in tourism / hospitality and what she is seeing in the next generation of talent. Stephanie is a dynamic speaker, and expect to have an interactive, engaging session.
    • 6:30-7:00 pm: General CTPA business and the elections will be held. If you would like to run for President, Vice President, Treasurer, or Secretary, please email Sarah Murphy, the Nominations Chair.
    Since we will have a wonderful speaker at this session, it would be great to have a lot of people attend in-person. You can also register for the special Presidential Chicago: Lincoln, Obama, & More walking tour happening before this meeting from 2:00-4:00 pm. This registration is for the in-person meeting, and if you would instead like to participate virtually, sign-up for that one here.


    There are several parking lots nearby on State Street and Wabash Avenue, and the cheapest options are generally found on SpotHero. The doorman will let you into the building, but in case someone is not there when you show up, you can also call the Party Room to be buzzed inside. If you registered for this event and can no longer attend it, please cancel your own registration on either the CTPA website's calendar or the WildApricot app.
