PRESERVATION CHICAGO Competitors

For more than 75 years, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has led the movement to safeguard America’s historic places. A privately funded nonprofit organization, we work to protect America's historic sites; tell the full American story; build stronger communities; and invest in preservation's future. Thanks to the passion and dedication of our advocates and supporters, we’re able to protect hundreds of places every year. Help us save places that matter—for ourselves, each other, and our future together. While we encourage constructive discussion, we ask that you conduct yourself in a civil manner and treat others with respect. The National Trust monitors comments and may remove posts that it deems inappropriate.

The Chicago History Museum cares for, showcases, and interprets millions of authentic pieces of Chicago and U.S. history. Our ability to illuminate the past is a reminder of what really happened once upon a time, sheds light on the present, and compellingly informs the future. We invite you to engage with our stories and make history yourself.

When you hit the pavement on one of our 75+ walking tours through Chicago neighborhoods, embark on our award-winning river cruise or visit the stunning riverfront Center, you’re helping fund youth education initiatives, world-renowned events like Open House Chicago and public information campaigns that empower citizens to take an active role in the future of their cities. As a certified nonprofit, all CAC ticket purchases directly support our education efforts and community engagement projects.
