In the early 1800s, the area that became Skokie was a land of swamps and forests, a place where buffalo, wildcat, fox, and deer were plentiful. The village is bordered by Evanston, Chicago, Lincolnwood, Niles, Morton Grove, Glenview, and Wilmette. Skokie's preferred proximity, just 16 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, makes it one of the North Shore's most accessible destinations. It's also chock full of world-class arts and cultural entertainment. It is the home of the North Shore Center for Performing Arts and the Skokie Theatre.
There is the Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park Walk, bike or skate through Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park. A magnificent open-air art exhibit displaying more than 70 sculptures positioned along two miles of beautifully landscaped walking, running, and biking paths, and nestled next to the Chicago River.
Skokie is home to The Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, which is a museum with a mission statement, its founding principle is to "Remember the Past; Transform the Future." The Museum is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Holocaust by honoring the memories of those who were lost and by teaching universal lessons that combat hatred, prejudice, and indifference.
