Richland County Historical Museum

Description

We are the Citizens of Richland County, North Dakota who are tired of the same old people who get together once per month to have coffee and cookies and could give a crap about what their mission really is.... to educate the Citizens about history so they are not destined to repeat it over again. The answer to 1984 is 1776. Remember this day.....

Mission

The answer to 1984 is 1776. The dictators must be thrown out and true caretakers of the history of Richland County, North Dakota, must be put in their places.



"The Chicago History Museum is home to millions of artifacts blown in from the city’s storied past. Permanent attractions include an exhibition that follows the city’s development from a trading outpost to a bustling metropolis, an exhibition about the idea of freedom and what it means to be free, a gallery of Abraham Lincoln artifacts, an interactive children’s gallery and a film exploring major Chicago events. The Museum is also home to two special exhibitions a year on Chicago-focused themes. The Museum hosts programs, special events, tours, and is available for private event space rental."

Went there for one of the free entry summer days. Would definitely recommend allowing yourself 2 to 3 hours to see everything inside. They have interesting exhibits mostly about Chicago and the history of the city but also a little bit about the state of Illinois. It is very well organized and entertaining. Parking is a little bit of a struggle so plan ahead or at least plan some time to find parking. The only downside was that the don't go in much detail about the historical events and mainly concentrate on big names.
The Chicago History Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history of this great American city. Even on a cold, rainy afternoon, the museum offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, filled with fascinating exhibits, interactive displays, and knowledgeable staff. From the moment you step inside, you'll be transported back in time to the early days of Chicago's founding and growth as a major industrial hub. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated and expertly presented, allowing visitors to explore the city's rich history in a variety of engaging ways. Whether you're interested in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the city's role in the Civil Rights movement, or the rise of Chicago's many famous politicians, you'll find something to pique your interest at the Chicago History Museum. The museum's collections are vast and varied, encompassing everything from ancient artifacts to modern multimedia installations. I particularly enjoyed a room dedicated to Chicago's metamorphosis in high-rise architecture. What's more, the museum is staffed by a team of friendly and knowledgeable experts who are always happy to answer questions, provide context, and share their passion for the city's fascinating history. Make sure you take the time to meet Michael at the reception desk, he is wonderfully friendly and clearly the "face" of the museum. Whether you're a lifelong resident of Chicago or just visiting for the first time, you'll come away from the museum with a newfound appreciation for the city's rich and diverse heritage. Overall, I highly recommend spending a cold, rainy afternoon at the Chicago History Museum. Or even a warm, wonderful, perfect-weather morning! It's an experience that is both educational and entertaining, and one that is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who visits. So don't let a little bad weather keep you cooped up indoors – head to the museum and discover the history of this incredible city for yourself!
The Chicago History Museum is a bit of a hidden gem that I'd never heard of despite living less than an hour away. There are many exhibits and artifacts on Chicago specific topics, including the Chicago fire, architecture, world fairs, stock yards, railway systems, and so much more. The volunteers were very knowledge about the exhibits, and I strongly recommend a visit to this museum, especially if you have a connection to Chicago.
I enjoyed myself here. I suggest though to not bring younger kids to read all the Information posted. It is a family venue and younger kids have their share of fun, interactive displays.
Have been so many times in chicago and never been here untill today.pitty. it is a great very well documented and interesting to visit . Not heavy , nor needed too much time. Absolutely recommanded . Be carefull , closed on mondays !!!!!! Could be a good lesson to many hotels and restaurants how to hold clean restrooms..... Bravo !!!Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
Well designed, top quality exhibits of Chicago history. We spent a little under 3 hours and that was about right to see everything. Parking is nearby and plentiful for us on a Saturday afternoon. I've been looking into family genealogy so having dates, addresses, and occupations of my grand parents and great grandparents, et. al. in the forefront of my mind I tried to imagine their life in the historical context of events displayed at the museum. I was fascinated; however, I don't think this is a good time for kids. This is an adult oriented museum with a wealth and breadth of Chicago history.
I took my two pre teen sons on a Sunday early afternoon. Parking was close and only $10 with validation. The museum itself was very nice and maintained. 2 hours would be sufficient time here.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entry$16–20
Nice and clean place. I would recommend to get the ticket beforehand. Even the cafe here is also very good and serves good foodVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
This museum provides a wide variety of experiences for all age groups. There are 2 levels, everything is accessible and clean, and multiple restrooms are clearly marked. Staff is friendly & helpful. Several exhibits detail Chicago history from its origins to modern times. Tragedies include Haymarket, the Great Chicago Fire, the Eastland Disaster, etc. Exhibits run from the first train in Chicago, a first printing Declaration of Independence, and a flag attributed to Betsy Ross. An old wooden train car, the first to operate on the Chicago "L", dates from 1893. The Dioramas are interesting but most are too dark. It's amazing to see the various inventions & technologies created by locals, from Motorola's first cell phone to Sears Mail Order catalog. Most exhibits are labelled in English & Spanish. I loved the Jazz Room. There's a nice cafe to catch a real Chicago hotdog, too. Don't miss the old stockyards archway while there. My few quibbles: entry door is poorly marked, parking is street or fairly distant, price is a little steep. I would love to see an info sign for the L car I had to look it up online & the use of QR codes to access more info about exhibits online while you're there.
I decided to visit this museum because I haven't been in years. They have some great exhibits. The Chicago fire of 1871, The Polish museum, remembering Dr. King, history on blues and jazz, and much more. I enjoyed it all. I recommend taking a day to visit. Very peaceful and relaxing.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$16–20
