The NASCAR Chicago Street Race and the Chicago History Museum have teamed up for a limited time pop-up experience showcasing the history of racing in Chicago and highlighting last year’s inaugural 2023 Chicago Street Race located in the entry hall of the Museum.
On this tour, explore stories of recovery from the 1871 Great Chicago Fire and the neighborhood at the center of Chicago bohemianism in the 1960s and 1970s.
Activities include hands-on arts and crafts with local teaching artists, facilitator-led exploration of Designing for Change, musical performances, and more family-friendly fun.
Stories are always better when shared! Whether you are a professional tour operator, group planner, or you simply have a lot of friends and family, we have an experience for you. Customized itineraries, Museum tours, and city tours are just some of the ways in which we can specialize your group’s visit.
Sip cocktails next to one of Chicago’s first “L” cars. Dance the night away against a backdrop of Lincoln Park’s lush gardens. Celebrate your life-changing moments in a place dedicated to embracing memories.
