Dear Chicago Community,
It was just over 10 years ago that we reopened our doors as the Chicago History Museum and reinvented the way we would serve Chicago as the place that brings together the people, events and identities that make Chicago, Chicago.
We are fortunate that in this campaign we don’t need to add another wing or building to serve our city better, but what we do need is to expand our civic-based education programs that develop skills by connecting students with Chicago stories, upgrade and modernize our collection storage, and beautify the park around the Museum to become a more welcoming destination.
My heart is filled with thanks for those who already have said they want to help us to make this transformation, because they believe in our mission and the future of our great city.
Gary T. Johnson
President
