At the end of the 19th century, Chicago completely transformed the way Americans eat, and the Union Stockyards on the South Side were the center of that revolution. Experience the sights, sounds, and awful smells of the Union Stockyards and the complex of meat factories next to it, known as Packingtown.

I bought my first Stetson hat at The Stockyard Inn before it was closed and torn down. I was the last cowboy in Chicago.
