The "Railroaders" exhibit is a collaborative effort between the Museum and The Center For Railroad Photography & Art. The Center has promoted this exhibit and is happy to show it at the museum where more photos could be displayed. This exhibit runs through August 10, 2015. Date: 09/19/14 12:27 Re: Chicago History Museum Visit Author: PERichardson The "Railroaders" exhibit is a wonderful look at America and its immigrant population cerca 1930s. And the exhibit catalog is a fantastic book....one of the few I've read where I wished it was 100 pages longer.
