SUMMARY:Movies in the Parks | Superman (2025)
DESCRIPTION:As we commemorate 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence at CHM\, we are asking questions about our nation’s democracy in progress. Are all people in our city equal? What happens when workers\, people of color\, or members of the LGBTQIA+ community stand up for their rights? How do we honor the Indigenous stewards of the land we now call Chicago? What can we do to create a “more perfect union” today in Chicago and the United States? \nFirst appearing in Action Comics Issue #1 on April 18\, 1938\, Superman has remained one of the best-known superheroes of all time as he fights for “truth\, justice\, and the American way” across comics\, television\, and film. Director James Gunn’s 2025 film Superman brings in new dimensions of the complicated nature of heroic idealism\, identity\, and its interplanetary parallels with the fight against domestic and international injustices today. \nAll Movies in the Parks screenings are free and open to the public and are provided in partnership with the Chicago Park District. Closed captioned. All films begin shortly after sunset. This film is estimated to begin at 8:30 PM and has a runtime of 1 hour and 49 minutes.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Historic Old Town
DESCRIPTION:As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, we’re also taking time to consider the ways people in the United States practice democracy through civic action\, including by making art\, establishing community\, and cultural expression \nThe Chicago History Museum sits on the edge of Old Town\, a neighborhood rich in history. The Chicago area was home to the Potawatomi\, whose villages were built on these lands. After they were forcibly removed\, German farmers settled there to make their homes. Since then\, it has served as an enclave for Puerto Rican migrants\, a home to the first gay rights organization in the US\, as well a vibrant arts scene. \nJoin CHM volunteer Carol Fitzgibbons to explore stories of recovery from the 1871 Great Chicago Fire and the neighborhood as the center of Chicago bohemianism in the 1960s and ’70s. Highlights include a post-Fire shelter cottage\, the Midwest Buddhist Temple\, numerous historic residences\, and St. Michael’s Church\, one of only seven buildings to survive the fire. \n$25\, $22.50 members  \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet at the Chicago History Museum.  \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date. \nMasks are optional for our outdoor walking tours. Learn more about our COVID-19 safety policies and procedures.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Glitterati on the Gold Coast
DESCRIPTION:As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, we’re also taking time to consider the ways people in the United States practice democracy through civic action\, including by making art\, establishing community\, and cultural expression. \nJoin a CHM History Buff volunteer guide and whisk away to a time when Chicago’s rich and famous caroused on the coast. “Gold Coast” refers to a stretch of expensive lakefront property occupied by the city’s wealthiest residents. Before the opening of the Michigan Avenue Bridge (now DuSable Bridge) in 1920\, it was isolated from the downtown business district and home to only a few wealthy families\, such as the McCormicks\, Palmers\, and Ryersons. \nThe area soon became the heart of the upper crust of Chicago society. Sociologist Harvey Warren Zorbaugh\, who claimed that college boys returning from the East Coast dubbed the area the “Gold Coast\,” immortalized it in his book The Gold Coast and the Slum: A Sociological Study of Chicago’s Near North Side (University of Chicago Press\, 1929; reprint 1983). The density of wealth in the Gold Coast buffered it against the deterioration that threatened other portions of the North Side in the 1950s. \nGaze at ornate architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan\, step onto a rare wood-block alleyway\, and take in Chicago’s early mansions\, including the Archbishop’s Residence. \n$25\, $22.50 members  \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet at the Chicago History Museum. \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date. \nMasks are optional for our outdoor walking tours.
