Hotels
Elgin is a city 40 mi (64
km) northwest of Chicago on the Fox River. Most of Elgin lies within Kane
County, Illinois, with a portion in Cook County, Illinois. As of the 2000
census, the city had a total population of 94,487, making it the eighth-largest
city in Illinois and the 241st largest city in the United States.
The city is known for its
historic architecture and landmarks from the Victorian era, including some
fine examples of homes in the Queen Anne style. Many of the most remarkable
homes once belonged to National Watch Company executives. Many interesting
Sears Catalog Homes arrived in Elgin as kits from 1908 to 1940.
Predating Victorian homes
were homes made of native cobblestone. It is believed that Elgin had at
one time the largest concentration of cobblestone homes outside of Rochester,
New York. Several such homes built by the earliest settlers still stand.
They can be seen in Elgin's historic districts, two of which are recognized
by the National Register of Historic Places.
The Elgin Public Museum at
Lords Park is the oldest building in Illinois built expressly as a museum
that is still serving that purpose.
The 9-member Elgin Heritage
Commission promotes historic preservation activity. The Gifford Park Association
is also active in historic preservation, and conducts a popular annual
house tour.
Elgin is home to the Elgin
Symphony Orchestra, one of the largest orchestras in Illinois, and a primary
option for live symphonic music in Chicago's Northwest suburbs. Other classical
music groups include the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra—the only youth
symphony ever invited to Ravinia, the Elgin Choral Union, the Elgin Children's
Chorus, and Elgin Opera Outdoor music can be heard at the Wing Park Bandshell.
Theatre groups include the Janus Theatre Company, Elgin Theatre Company,
Children's Theatre of Elgin, Fox Valley Youth Theatre, and Nothing Special
Productions. Together, the Hemmens Auditorium and Elgin Community College's
Visual & Performing Arts Center host dozens of performances a year
by performers ranging from Chicago's Hubbard Street Dance Company to comedian
Bill Maher.
