Summer is almost here, and the Chicago History Museum has lots of events lined up for the month of June.  A special boat tour sponsored by Goose Island will cover Chicago’s beer history during a sunset cruise.  In addition to the various cruises, CHM will also offer kayak tours on the Chicago River, and Project Sundays brings an interesting look at the world of fashion with the screening of a Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton documentary.

Chicago History Museum is located at 1601 N. Clark St.

The sight of spring is almost coming into few with the beginning of March. Even though we’ll still have snow on the ground and the temperature will no doubt be somewhere between freezing and death, the Chicago History Museum will have a month loaded with events to coax you out of the house. Events include Inside Chicago Fashion, the lecture Is Chicago Shaping the Nation?, and lastly Chicago’s Birthday Party.

Join a panel of African American fashion designers as they discuss their work as well as the fashion industry for Fashion Chicago Style. Panelists include Barbara Bates, Barbara Samuels, Leigh Jones, Jermikko Shoshanna, and Reginald Thomas and is moderated by Micah Materre.
