Review & FAQ:
The Chicago History Museum tells the story of Chicago, from the early pioneer days right up to present times.
Here you and your children can take a step back in time and learn about monumental events which took place in the past, like the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and the birth of democracy in the early 20th century. Another exhibit is dedicated to showcasing the work of Dr. Martin Luther King (1929 to 1968) while another series of galleries is filled with interactive exhibits and multimedia presentations. You can explore the museum at your own pace with an audio guide or join a guided tour.
