DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center 740 East 56th Place, Chicago, IL 60637

"I didn’t take many photos but great museum!! Great information, artifacts, art, history of Chicago, very cool. Also a good amount of security."

"Free Visit’s are on Wednesday’s and this is a very important Museum on Chicago’s south side and there is so much to learn more about Black History!"

"The museum is a small local labor of love. There were 5 discrete exhibits the day I visited. As it was my first visit to Chicago, I loved the Chicago-specific exhibits as they helped me feel more understanding for the city and the people of Chicago. History has a powerful ability to help us situate ourselves in the present. That context is so vital. We found the staff very helpful in situating us in the museum; the attendent at the front desk gave us a wonderful overview of the museum's offerings. These included an interesting mix of art, artifacts, and mixed media reinactment. The museum is experimenting with different aspects of technology to bring history to life for it's visitors. Some things work better than others but the efforts in all cases demonstrate the museum's dedication to capturing the imagination and attention of those who walk through the doors. It was a worthy stop in my Chicago tour."

"The "March" experience was wonderful. Enjoyed the history of Chicago's 1st Black Mayor; the letters and display of the service men and women. Displays of the artifacts of the struggle to build a better "America" on the backs of slavery were a grave reminder that freedom will forever have a cost that can not be repaid! The investment and resources to fund this museum are evidently lacking, and that's very sad. Definitely visit and donate!"

"Our family loves stopping to explore history visits and immediately made a decision to add this to the top of the list. Glad we did. We are museum members at our home museum which have reciprocal privileges in various states that you can use your membership on. This was one of them. Our admission was free. Parking on the side of the building was also free. Friendly customer service here well. We had a great educational time."
