Swedish American Museum Tour: We are America

A one hour guided private tour for the Chicago Genealogical Society of the Museum's new core exhibit, We Are America. (second floor). We Are America tells the story of Swedish immigration to Chicago. Attendees will encounter environmental displays, artifacts, images, interactives, and kid-friendly elements. They will learn about the lives Swedish immigrants built in the U.S., from employment to recreation to religion to home life, and even about Swedish-American businesses and clubs that still form an integral part of Chicago today. We Are America also invites the group to compare the Swedish immigration story with others from Chicago, and to reflect on their own histories and experiences. The tour also includes the Brunk Children's Museum of Immigration (3rd floor).
