Scott Wolter delves into a massive 3000-pound boulder tucked away in a hidden area of the Chicago History Museum. This stone, known as the Waubansee Stone, was once even larger when it was located by the Chicago River near Fort Dearborn. Regarded as the city’s oldest artwork, it depicts a man with closed eyes, slightly parted lips, and a beard. While some believe it honors a local Native American chief, others speculate it may have served a darker purpose centuries ago. Scott's quest for the truth about the Waubansee Stone leads him on an exhilarating journey through pivotal moments in Chicago's history, revealing the stone's intriguing connections throughout time.
