The Museum of Historic Chicago Architecture features pieces from Chicago landmarks and prominent buildings designed and created by masters such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis H. Sullivan.

In addition to the showroom and indoor galleries, Architectural Artifacts also has a courtyard filled with statuary and stone columns.
Robinson's No. 1 Ribs is a specialty restaurant in Oak Park serving up award-winning ribs and barbeque to happy customers that keep coming back. This Chicagoland institution opened in 1983 after founder Charlie Robinson won the Mike Royko Ribfest in 1982 and received incredible demand for not only his ribs but his special sauce. Ever since, Robinson's No. 1 Ribs has been pleasing crowds in-house and bottling the special sauce for distribution across the country. Visit for a Sunday buffet, a special occasion or just to satisfy that craving for quality barbecue and see what the fuss is about.
