From the "World's Most Perfect Town" in 1896, to near demolition in the mid-20th century, to a neighborhood revitalized in the present day, the saga of the Pullman Palace Car Company and neighborhood known as Pullman is on display at the Historic Pullman Foundation Visitors Center. The Visitors Center sits on the site of the Arcade Building and is the starting point for your self-guided walking tour of the Pullman District. The tour will take you past neighborhood row houses to the historic Greenstone Church, made from the distinct serpentine stone, through the Market Square and finally to the grand Hotel Florence.
