Members and Historical Alliance are invited to celebrate our newest exhibition, City on Fire: Chicago 1871. Museum staff will be on hand to answer your questions, and the exhibition curator, Julius L. Jones, will present on the process of creation and installation. This exclusive event should not be missed!

Not yet a CHM member or part of the Historical Alliance? It’s easy to join!

Members and Historical Alliance should sign into their online accounts before reserving tickets. If you have any questions, please contact individual giving and annual fund manager Lauren Wissbaum at wissbaum@chicagohistory.org.

There will be signage at the Museum to guide you, but we highly recommend reading our updated safety guidelines prior to your visit. Although the city of Chicago has moved into Phase 5 of its reopening plan and the CDC has updated guidance regarding mask mandates for fully vaccinated people, CHM will continue to require all visitors over age 2 and staff to wear a mask while inside the Museum. As vaccinations continue, we will evaluate and update policies.
