Chicago History Museum

Fodor's Review:

The museum went through a major rehaul in late 2006 when it changed its name from the Chicago Historical Society in honor of its 150th birthday. The new permanent sights include a Costume and Textile Gallery and the exhibit entitled "Chicago: Crossroads of America," which demystifies historic tragedies like the Great Chicago Fire and Haymarket Affair.

  • Cost: $14, Mon. free
  • Open: Mon.-Wed., Fri., and Sat. 9:30-4:30, Thurs. 9:30-8, Sun. noon-5
