Bahá’í House of Worship in Wilmette This is one of eight continental Bahá’í temples worldwide and serves as a spiritual center for all of North America. • The temple is open to people of all faiths and is intended as a place for prayer, meditation, and reflection, without sermons or organized worship services. • Inside, sacred texts from various world religions are read or sung without instrumental accompaniment. A domed prayer hall with nine entrances, nine alcoves, and nine fountains—the number nine symbolizing unity and spiritual wholeness. • Detailed concrete cladding in a lacy style, made of Portland cement and quartz. • Religious symbols from various faiths, such as the Christian cross, the Star of David, and the Islamic crescent, are incorporated into the exterior pillars. • Inside the dome, the “Greatest Name” is inscribed in Arabic script, meaning “O Thou Glory of Glories.”

This stretch of the Des Plaines River Trail at Cahokia Flatwoods Forest Preserve guides hikers through a serene woodland, with a dirt path winding under tall oaks and maples. Surrounded by green undergrowth and dappled sunlight, it’s a peaceful escape near the river

This bronze sculpture is a tribute to General Sheridan, a Civil War general. It depicts him on a horse during Battle of Five Forks in April 1865.

Interesting temple - very different from anything else on the North Shore.

This easy multi-use trail makes its way through a number of neighborhoods and parks. It's a great place to escape to for a relaxing ride.

This is a wonderful beach at Wilmette. You can spot migratory birds as they fly over Lake Michigan. It's a very diverse area for nature – sandy shore, dunes, parkland and native plantings. There's also a beach house and dog beach.

From this location you'll have an amazing view across Lake Michigan to the Chicago Skyline in the distance.

Set on the shores of Lake Michigan this is the second Baha'i Temple ever built. The Baha'i Faith is based in unity of all people therefore everyone is welcome to visit the temple.
