Getting There

• By Car

  If you are driving, start by getting onto the nearest highway that connects to Interstate 55 or Interstate 90. Depending on where you are in the Illinois Ozarks, you may need to take local roads to reach the interstate. Once on the interstate, follow the signs toward Chicago. As you approach Chicago, take the exit for Lake Shore Drive (US-41) north. Continue on Lake Shore Drive, and then take the exit toward North Avenue. Follow North Avenue until you reach Crilly Court. Turn onto Crilly Court and look for the Henry Gerber House located at 1704 N Crilly Ct, Chicago, IL 60614. Be aware of parking regulations in the area, as street parking may require a permit or payment at nearby meters.

• By Public Transportation

  For public transportation, you can start by finding the nearest bus or train station in the Illinois Ozarks. Use the local transit authority’s website or a navigation app to find routes heading towards Chicago. You may need to take a bus to a major station like the Amtrak station or a local bus terminal that connects to Chicago. From there, take the Metra train or a Greyhound bus to downtown Chicago. Once in downtown Chicago, transfer to the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) system. You can take the Brown Line train towards Kimball and get off at the North Avenue station. From there, it's about a 15-minute walk to Henry Gerber House at 1704 N Crilly Ct. Alternatively, you can take a bus from North Avenue to Crilly Court if you prefer not to walk.
