What travelers say:

Following the Chicago City Pass play series, I feel that it can be the first stop for the Chicago Museum to play. You can learn the history of the city of Chicago. From the beginning of the Great Fire, the formation of the city of Chicago and the wind and rain. The museum was built in 1856 and is the oldest cultural institution in Chicago. In 1871 and 1874 encountered two fires, and then in 1932 built the current new pavilion, the pavilion has two floors, the first floor of the main exhibition introduced the history of Chicago's development, there is a small theater will do historical film explanation, it is recommended to watch the movie first, in the opening of the museum tour, In the film, we learn about a serious fire in Chicago in 1871, which almost destroyed the entire city's housing buildings because the buildings were mostly wooden buildings, and thus the modern Chicago city buildings that now house the skyscraper. The Chicago Water Tower became one of the few surviving buildings and thus became a landmark in Chicago.
