The Buckingham Foundation was built in 1927 in Grant Park and is between
Lake Shore Drive and Columbus Drive a block south of Jackson Drive. For
about 20 minutes beginning at the top of the hour it reaches it's maximum
height once an hour from morning until evening depending on the season
and weather conditions.
It's a beautiful fountain even at a lower height. If you're lucky you
can find a parking space along the street.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
