Tour the Historic Pullman District Method Soap Factory (Allow 1.25 hours to enjoy) 720 East 111th Street, Chicago, IL 60628

Method is the industry’s first LEED platinum-certified soap factory in Chicago, setting new standards for making soap. Your group will learn about renewable energy, hydroponic farming and green manufacturing. Upon arrival you’re greeted by an enormous Wind turbine, in fact, this 230-foot wind turbine works the opposite of a fan—instead of using electricity to make wind, it uses wind to make electricity. The wind turbine helps generate half of the building’s annual electrical consumption. The Factory also has a Green roof. The urban agriculture company Gotham Greens has taken over 75,000 square feet of the roof to create a commercial-scale greenhouse. The greenhouse produces about 500 tons of fresh, premium quality, pesticide-free produce annually for the local community and surrounding retail and restaurants.

The center sits on the site of the Arcade Building and includes exhibits that feature historic pictures, Pullman related items and a short video that summarizes the town's history.
