The south side of our Chicago Room is a gorgeous location for an indoor ceremony. The amount of natural light varies by the time of year, but our lighted stained glass panels look great at any time!

We're in this together. The Chicago History Museum is contributing to the fight against COVID-19 by donating a large number of gloves, N95 face masks, aprons, eyewear, and other personal protection equipment (PPE) to Cook County Health. Our collections staff uses PPEs when handling artifacts that could have been treated with hazardous substances, possibly have toxic molds or fungi, and to protect artifacts from oils and other materials. #CoronaVirusChallenge https://hubs.ly/H0nQHGp0
Not to be outdone by our museum friends!
Guess who we caught sneaking around the Museum? Looks like Peloton 1860s-style + a good walk is helping Honest Abe stay fit because he couldn't let Sue at the Field Museum and the penguins at Shedd Aquarium have all the fun. Learn more about our sixteenth president in our online exhibitions. #MuseumFromHome #onepeloton http://www.chicagohistory.org/exhibitions/
We wanted to share this blog post from our friend Kate at Chicago Vintage Weddings She has some great advice and insight on wedding planning in the midst of COVID-19.

Fall Chicago Illinois Wedding. From the bride: Rich and I both grew up in Geneva, Illinois and we have known each other since middle school. Although we were friends, we did not start dating until we started college at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
We were honored to host former @chicagomuseum President and current @smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch III as the first stop on his “A Fool’s Errand” book tour detailing the founding and building of @nmaahc . @ Chicago History Museum
We enjoyed hosting Washington University in St. Louis for their info session!
