Winnetka Story: Part II After the Chicago Fire 1871 1900

Winnetka Story is an award-winning, three-part documentary about the history of Winnetka and Chicago's North Shore. Originally released in 2009, this version has been re-edited in HD with new aerial footage.
Part II focuses on the Great Chicago Fire, which left one-third of the city homeless. Many of these people moved to the North Shore, doubling the population overnight. Highlights include the contribution of Henry Demarest Lloyd, the Labor Movement, “Murder Town”, Recreation, New Trier High School and more.
