Home to Northwestern University, Evanston is a charming city, ideal for driving, biking, or walking tours. Many activities are connected to the university: performing arts at Pick-Staiger Concert Hall and the Theatre and Interpretation Center, and Big Ten football at Ryan Field. The Evanston Historical Society is housed in the home of one-time U.S. Vice President Charles Gates Dawes. Gross Point Lighthouse (1874) is a national monument. Mitchell Indian Museum has a fine collection, and the Frances Williard House is an interesting diversion as well. View classic and contemporary art at the Block Museum of Art in Northwestern University. Head to the public parks and beaches along the lakefront, where the pace is slow and easy. Evanston features a wide variety of good restaurants, including an especially nice mix of ethnic eateries.
