Chicago History Museum closes indefinitely

The Chicago History Museum closed its doors to the public Sunday to encourage social distancing to limit the spread of COVID-19, officials announced.

The museum will review the decision on a week-by-week basis and reopen when officials feel it is safe and appropriate to do so.

The facility will serve as a polling place on Tuesday, March 17, and honor its commitment to organizations and individuals hoping to host events here.
