Arthur Miller's "Art Class "Overview of fascinating Sheridan Road through the North Shore, Part 2: South Winnetka through Lake Bluff
Arthur Miller took a tour group, in Chicago for a week from the Vero Beach art museum in Florida, they thought traveling this link in the Lake Michigan Circle tour was an unexpected highlight.

The road was organized in the 1890s to facilitate military movement to and from the 1887-launched Fort Sheridan. It soon was a pleasure drive through the lakefront suburbs north of the city.
