McCormick Day at Cantigny
Cantigny Park commemorates the birthday of its benefactor, Colonel Robert R. McCormick! McCormick Day is Cantigny’s annual gift to the community—enjoy free parking and children receive a complimentary art bag (while supplies last).
McCormick, former editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune, was born on July 30, 1880. He lived on the 500-acre country estate from 1920 until his passing in 1955. His will designated Cantigny as a public park for education and recreation. On McCormick Day, Cantigny remembers the Colonel’s remarkable life as a gentleman farmer, First Division soldier, public servant and media industry innovator.
