About Chicago History Museum

With its backyard opening into Chicago's pristine Lincoln Park, the setting of Chicago's history museum is one of the most ideal locations when planning a wedding.

Aside from the well-maintained gardens that make cocktail decorations completely unnecessary, the back terrace is perfect for cocktails and/or passed and buffet style hors d’ouevres. Set up a few high top tables and your guests can not only enjoy the ambiance, but also have a place to put their food!

Once it's time for the actual reception, the museum opens itself up to an intimate gathering place fit for royalty.

The high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows create a backdrop that you feel lucky to be in front of. As if the accommodations in and of themselves weren't enough, the event planning staff at the Chicago Historical Museum make taking care of details a walk in the park.

Aside from the approved list of caterers, party planners, and rental services they provide you, the staff is more than happy to work with additional vendors to ensure that your event is pulled off seamlessly.

What is even better is that you are encouraged to play as active a role as you would like when planning your party at this venue. So whether you are a control freak that needs to be a part of everything, or would rather sit back and let the professionals take care of the details, the staff at The Chicago History Museum is eager to help.

Create your own little piece of history and have your next event at the Chicago History Museum.
