2011 ANNUAL REPORT
Chair’s Message
Over the past few years, the trustees and staff of the
Chicago History Museum have been creating and
implementing an ambitious strategic plan. Our goal is
to help our audiences make meaningful and personal
connections to the city and its history.
Our activities show a passion for achieving this goal.
This past year saw the debut of the re-envisioned
American history gallery, Facing Freedom, two
installations with a Civil War theme: Lincoln’s
Chicago and Lincoln the President, as well as the
opening of the groundbreaking Out in Chicago, an
exploration of the city’s LGBT history. In the spring,
we hosted an array of programs exploring one of
our visitors’ favorite history topics—the Prohibition
era in Chicago.
Thank you to our Museum’s world-class professional
staff and terrific volunteers, for always showing
their passion for history and Chicago. Last year,
they hosted more than 700 school groups, and
the Research Center assisted more than 10,000
researchers. This was also a breakthrough year for
the Museum’s social media presence. Staff members
regularly blog about an array of subjects, such as the
1919 Black Sox scandal, a story that was picked up
by the national media and highlighted the Museum’s
importance on a wider scale. We maintain a lively
Facebook presence and regularly tweet to faithful
followers. Our E-News reaches over 20,000 people.
None of this would be possible without the
leadership of our committed Board of Trustees and
the support of our generous donors. I thank you all
for your own passion for history during this eventful
and productive year.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT
president’s Message
When the Board of Trustees approved “The Critical
Path: Strategic Plan for the Chicago History
Museum” in 2009, your museum took on the
task of staying true to its vision in the midst of a
global economic crisis. Even in challenging times,
we believe that a disciplined institution can make
organic changes in ways that leave it stronger.
Certain key insights are moving us forward.
First, we put the Museum’s collection front and
center. We work to improve access to the collection
while at the same time providing an optimal
environment for preservation. Our new exhibition,
Unexpected Chicago, displays one artifact at a
time for only one month. This is dramatic proof of
the value of the investment that the community
has made in a collection that numbers 22 million
holdings. Realizing a return on that investment for
the sake of the community is top on my list of goals
as President.
Second, we embrace audience research as a critical
planning tool. Our research includes collecting
demographic information, conducting focus
groups, and establishing visitor panels, all to help
us make decisions regarding educational content
and experiences. Foremost in our minds are our
three core audiences—families, schoolchildren, and
members.
Finally, we focus on our relationships with those
who share our vision. We are committed to
envisioning a new model of membership that
will help people make meaningful and personal
connections to history and to the Museum in this
new era of social media. We also invest in our staff
to strengthen their relationship to the Museum
and to each other and to make sure that the people
charged with implementing our plans have the
resources they need to succeed.
We thank you for your commitment to the cause of
history in Chicago.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT
The past year at the Chicago History Museum
has been a diverse one. It began with the
celebratory July 4th premiere of the exhibition
Facing Freedom, heralded the re-opening of
our American history galleries, and marked the
renewal of our unique Abraham Lincoln display.
The year has also welcomed our presentation
of the groundbreaking show on LGBT life in
the city, Out in Chicago. This exhibition, one of
the first of its kind in any mainstream museum,
builds on three years of intensive research.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT
Facing Freedom
Freedom is anything but simple. This
innovative exhibition examines eight
conflicts over freedom from the 1850s to the
1970s. Told through artifacts, photographs,
films, audio clips, and activities, each
conflict is presented from the participants’
perspectives. Through the large themes
of unite, defend, speak out, and struggle,
visitors are invited to consider events of
the past in the present tense, placing
themselves in the position of past Americans
and engaging with their struggles on a
first-name basis. Our record as a nation
isn’t unspotted when it comes to freedom.
It is important to remember the times we
have struggled with our better natures to
make the most basic rights available to
all. These stories are important reminders
that Americans in all times have worked to
define—and defend—their own rights.
The Naphtali ben Yakov Pritzker American History
Wing is made possible through a generous grant
from Tawani Foundation, through the support
of Colonel (IL) J. N. Pritzker, IL ARNG (retired),
President and Founder, Pritzker Military Library
and Tawani Foundation.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT
Lincoln
Between 1847 and 1860, Abraham Lincoln visited
Chicago at least twenty-five times, to practice law
and engage in politics. The city became his second
home and political headquarters during his rise to
prominence, and his launching pad to the presidency.
Now the Sanger P. Robinson Gallery features a
glimpse of the Chicago Lincoln knew, as the Alcoves
gallery displays a moving new installation of artifacts
relating to the great President’s life and death.
These lithographs are mainly drawn from the
publications of the Chicago Lithography Company,
established in the nineteenth century by Otto Jevne
and Peter Almini. The somewhat romanticized
cityscapes were originally drawn by the artist Louis
Kurtz, and show diverse scenes of men, women,
and children of all backgrounds and races. The
physical sites and landmarks of the busy early city
appear fresh and new to our eyes; many would soon
be swept away by the Great Fire of 1871.
The Museum is especially indebted to The Robert R. McCormick
Foundation, the lead exhibition sponsor of Lincoln’s Chicago.
Additional support is provided by the Terra Foundation for
American Art.
The Alcoves installation is supported by a gift from The Gupta
Family, with additional support from the Joyce Foundation in
honor of Lawrence N. Hansen.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT
Out In Chicago
What happens when questions related to sexuality
and gender nonconformity are brought to bear
on a city’s history Out in Chicago details the
emergence of the city’s diverse lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities.
It emphasizes the everyday lives of LGBT
Chicagoans, as well as LGBT activism and its fight
against homophobia and fear of gender difference.
While Out’s target audience is LGBT, it is accessible
to all visitors, regardless of sexual orientation, and
contains ample opportunities to forge personal
connections with the subject matter. The exhibition
opened in May 2011 and runs through March 2012.
Out in Chicago is one of the first exhibitions of
its kind in a mainstream museum. It begins by
describing the fluidity of gender and sexuality and
how the relationship between the two has changed
over time. Building on this, three subsequent
sections address families and homes; communities
and social spaces; and activism.
Using vibrant colors, large graphics, and furniture,
the design creates immersive environments from
an inviting living room to an alley outside a nightclub,
and generates emotion — whether the fear of a bar
raid, or the excitement of a Pride Parade. Life-sized
video greeters address visitors as they move through
the exhibition, explaining the content ahead.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT
Out In Chicago (continued)
The exhibition’s content grew out of three years of
intensive research. We made a conscious decision
to tap into the vast queer history resources of the
city, ranging from the long-standing Gerber/Hart
Library and Archives, to the one-of-a-kind Leather
Archives and Museum, to the new National Public
Housing Museum.
The installation also features definitions of the LGBT
lexicon—some serious, others more lighthearted—
illustrating the power of language and exploring the
changing meaning of words over time.
The interdisciplinary team that created this project
represents an unusually close collaboration between
practitioners of public history and academic history.
Visitors see and hear themselves in the exhibition
and make meaningful connections to history.
Major participants in this exhibition include Gerber/Hart Library and Archives, the
Leather Archive and Museum, and the Hull-House Museum. The Chicago History
Museum is grateful for the loans, work, and involvement of these important
community resources. Chicago’s modern LGBT community has also been
extraordinarily generous on both the individual and organizational levels. We are
delighted to acknowledge that help here and elsewhere.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT
Treasurer’s report
As with most museums, these
extraordinary economic times
continued to pose challenges
in generating adequate funding
to support day-to-day museum
operations. At the Chicago History
Museum, and again this past year,
these challenges were met with
creativity and fiscal discipline that
resulted in positive financial results for
fiscal year 2011. Necessary shifts in
operating plans were made, adjusting
activity to the availability of resources
throughout the fiscal year. In doing
so, the Chicago History Museum
generated a modest operating
surplus of $58,905 for the year
ended June 30, 2011. Through the
generosity of our annual fund donors,
contributions raised exceeded the
goal set for the year by 10%. In line
with our expectations for the year,
total operating revenues declined by
4%, primarily in investment income
available for operations.
As of June 30, 2011, net assets
increased from $53,589,309 to
$60,890,492, an increase of 13%.
While the volatility in the financial
markets still exists, there was
marked improvement in the value
of the institution’s investments, an
increase of $6,006,339, representing
a total return of 15%. Another factor
contributing to the increase in net
assets was a positive change in the
market value of an interest rate swap
agreement of $2,475,736. This change
is also represented in the decrease
in total liabilities of $2,735,072 along
with a reduction in accounts payable.
In prior fiscal years, the Chicago
History Museum financial reports
were consolidated with Lincoln Park
Society results, a partner organization
formed to operate a parking facility
for museum visitors and the general
public. In fiscal year 2011, there was
a deconsolidation of the financial
statements and a transfer out of a net
deficit of ($2,840,609). The financial
information represented in the
following charts reflects data for the
Chicago History Museum, after that
transfer was recorded.
We look forward to a strengthening
economy, not only for its impact on
our bottom line, but for our members,
contributors and supporters, and the
public that we serve. Their future
generosity will be critical for us to
continue providing the level and
quality of services the public expects
and deserves. We appreciate the
dedication of our staff, their efforts,
and their patience as we move
ahead on our critical path. While the
uncertainty in the economy remains,
our primary fiscal goals for the future
continue to be investing in core
mission activities, implementing new
strategic initiatives when feasible, and
protecting the future financial stability
of the institution.
The fiscal year results and financial
position are presented in the following
graphics. The financial statements
have been audited by Grant Thornton
LLP, independent certified public
accountants, and their report contains
no exceptions or qualifications as
to financial position and results of
operations. You may request a copy
of the full audited report from the
Finance and Accounting Office at the
Chicago History Museum.
