Book Description
Excerpt from A Museum of American History, Founded 1856: Illustrated Handbook The Chicago Historical Society stands in the southwest corner of Lincoln Park at the intersection of Clark Street and North Ave nue, just fifteen minutes from the Loop or business section of the city. Facing the spreading lawns of Lincoln Park and the blue waters of Lake Michigan in the distance, this Georgian building of red brick and white limestone commands a view of the famous St. Gaudens' statue of Abraham Lincoln. The Chicago Historical Society is served by all Clark Street car lines and by the Broadway line on State Street, both to and from the Loop. Northbound buses stop at Burton Place for visitors to the Historical Society, southbound buses at North Avenue, and elevated trains at Sedgwick Street. The building of the Society is located at the point where Dearborn Street enters Lincoln Park. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Spurred first by the civil rights debates of the 1960s and 1970s, then by the culture wars of the following decades, the Chicago Historical Society (CHS) increasingly sought to give visitors and patrons a voice in retelling the city's history. In response to debates over the authority to interpret the past, CHS engaged in community outreach and sponsored multicultural exhibits and programs. Yet, in this analysis of the society's evolving relationship with its diverse constituencies, Catherine M. Lewis finds that prevailing assumptions about the museum as a commemorative site dedicated to civic pride undermined CHS's bold attempts to create a public forum. Based on more than 250 interviews with staff at CHS and museums around the country, as well as research into formerly inaccessible public and private papers, The Changing Face of Public History offers a behind-the-scenes look at the ways in which one of the most innovative museums in the United States has continually grappled with issues confronting not only museum professionals but all those concerned about the role history plays in the lives of American citizens.
