Pullman was the first planned industrial community in the United States. It became one of the most well known company towns. It was also the scene of the violent Pullman strike of 1894 that greatly influenced the Labor Movement in the U.S. It was built for George Pullman as a place to produce the famous Pullman sleeping cars. It was recently designated a National Monument and National Historic District.
Wow – these are great pictures – so colorful! I want to visit! Thanks Linda!
Thanks Lori. It is a really interesting place, because it goes back to the 1800s!
