Each year, the Making History Awards celebrates the accomplishments of individuals or corporations who have left their mark on Chicago. Over the past 28 years, we have honored 123 individuals from all walks of life for their enduring contributions to art and culture, sports, business, and civic life. We have also celebrated 13 companies for their historic corporate achievements. Join us on June 8, 2022 at 6 p.m. at the Four Seasons Hotel, as we share each of our honorees’ unique stories and hear from esteemed colleagues on the importance of their contributions to our community. We will also hear from Chicago History Museum leadership and take a look inside the Museum’s current initiatives and exhibitions.
The Chicago History Museum inaugurated this event in 1995 to provide vital financial support to the Museum’s operations and programs. More than twenty-seven years later, this event is still a cornerstone of the institution, supporting the Museum’s mission to share Chicago’s stories, serving as a hub of scholarship and learning, inspiration, and civic engagement.
