Hofmann Tower State Historic Site
Hofmann Tower is a small stone landmark beside the Des Plaines River and a manicured riverwalk — great for architectural shots framed with flowing water, the low dam, and seasonal trees. The tower exterior (tower closed) and surrounding park suit intimate landscapes, history-focused frames, and Route 66 roadside shots. Free on-site parking; easy wheelchair-accessible paths. Best light: golden hour or overcast for even stone textures; weekdays or early mornings for few people. Bring insect repel/
