Good morning from Elijah Wentworth, often considered the first non-Indigenous permanent settler of #JeffersonPark here in #Chicago.

In 1830, he opened the Wentworth Tavern near what is now Milwaukee and Lawrence Avenues, kicking off the beginning of the area's development. Yup, our neighborhood was built around alcohol!

He built a large, 2-story, log tavern and the rest is history! https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20170518/jefferson-park/throwback-thursday-elijah-wentworth-jefferson-park-history-first-resident/

Tom hopes you all have a great week.

And if not, it doesn’t really matter because he’s a statue! 😜
