Highland Park

Few cities in Illinois have a history as closely tied to the growth of Chicago’s North Shore rail suburbs as Highland Park. Set on Lake Michigan north of Chicago, the city combines residential neighborhoods with ravines that cut through its bluff-lined shoreline. Its downtown is organized around the Metra rail corridor, reflecting the connections that helped shape the community from the 19th century onward. Highland Park is also home to Ravinia, the longtime summer venue of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; the Ravinia Festival began in 1904 and is regarded as the oldest outdoor music festival in the United States.
