About Winnetka, Illinois
Winnetka is a village of 12,744 people in Cook County, 17 miles north of downtown Chicago. Its first houses went up in 1836, the year Erastus Patterson brought his family west from Woodstock, Vermont, in a wagon pulled by oxen. On the fourteenth of August they camped on the hill where the Episcopal church later stood, and they opened a tavern for travelers on the Green Bay Trail post road.
In 1854 the first subdivision was laid out by Charles Peck along with Walter S. Gurnee, who headed the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. The railroad between Chicago and Milwaukee came through the next year, and in 1856 the Pecks started the first private school with seventeen pupils. Winnetka was incorporated in 1869 with 450 people, and that same year the Pecks gave the town its Village Green. The name is thought to come from the Potawatomi language and to mean 'beautiful place.'
- A log house moved twiceThe Schmidt-Burnham Log House is the oldest house still standing in Winnetka. It was first built on ground that is now the Indian Hill Club, at the south edge of town. In 1917 it was hauled to Tower Road, and in 2003 it moved again, this time to the Crow Island Woods. It joined the National Register in 2005 as the Anita Willets Burnham Log House.
- The Winnetka PlanEducator Carleton Washburne shaped the village's public schools around creative activities and social growth, an experiment that became known as the Winnetka Plan, and the schools still follow his ideas. Crow Island School, designed by Eliel and Eero Saarinen with the firm Perkins, Wheeler & Will, drew ten thousand people to its opening in 1938. A middle school opened in 1969 carries Washburne's name.
- Dr. King on the Village GreenMartin Luther King Jr. spoke on the Village Green in 1965, and a plaque now marks the spot. His push for open housing, together with the North Shore Summer Project, moved residents to found the nonprofit known today as Open Communities.
- The Home Alone houseA colonial Georgian house went up at 671 Lincoln Avenue in the 1920s. Its exterior became the McCallister family home in Home Alone, released in 1990, and in its sequel, both produced by John Hughes. Fans visit the house all year, and most of all at Christmas.
- A border through 58 homesThe line between Winnetka and Glencoe runs through 58 homes, so their owners paid taxes to both villages and needed permits from both. Talks began in the 1920s, and in 2007 the villages reached an agreement that let each owner pick one village for services. At first 46 owners chose Winnetka, and the boundary was later redrawn to match the choices.
