Lonely Planet review for Hillary Rodham Clinton Women’s Park

Fronting on Prairie Ave, with the Glessner House to the north and the Clarke House to the west, this 4-acre park is named for former first lady, now US Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who grew up in suburban Park Ridge. Since she dedicated the park in 1997, landscapers have added a French garden, a fountain and winding paths. As bright as its future looks, the park has a notorious past. The Fort Dearborn massacre, in which a group of local Native Americans rebelled against the incursion of white settlers, is thought to have occurred on this very spot on August 15, 1812.
