Before leaving, they will learn about the city s exciting history and discover little-known fascinating facts about the Windy City. Founded in 1781 by Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, an African American from present-day Haiti, Chicago began as a trading post. A little more than 100 years later it was one of America s most important industrial and economic centers. It was also the home to the world s first skyscrapers. The class will also learn about Chicago s extreme climate, its most famous residents, the local flora and fauna, and the city s many museums. Haley and her friends will also get to enjoy Chicago s most famous food deep-dish Chicago-style pizza. Join the class on their visit to one of America s most unique cities and see why the Second City is first in the hearts of those who live there.
