Chicago History Podcast FROM THE ARCHIVES - Sans Souci Amusement Park and Frank Lloyd Wright's Midway Gardens
Enjoy this story from July 2020.
Six years after the closing of the World's Fair of 1893, on 10 acres near the University of Chicago, a new outdoor entertainment venue opened called Sans Souci. Sans Souci and Midway Gardens, although all but forgotten, paved the way for outdoor entertainment for generations to come.
