Winnetka Story: Part III 1900-1945

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 III focuses on Winnetka's expansion and the two major challenges it faced at the dawn of the twentieth century: the constant flooding in the Skokie to the west, and the many deaths at various railroad crossings. Twenty-Six-Year-Old village engineer, Frank Windes, set out to solve both these problems. In addition, city planning and infrastructure are highlighted.
