As part of the expansion the museum built a new parking lot. Now that doesn't sound too interesting until you find out that the remains of 81 people were unearthed as part of the excavation. Including one body in a kind of iron casket that was popular in the 1850s. It turns out bodies are often found during construction in the south end of Lincoln Park because this was Chicago's first cemetery.
