Norwood Park Historical Society

Local history exhibits and museum visits are the core offerings at this historical society. Its museum is housed in the Noble-Seymour-Crippen House, built in 1833 and described as Chicago's oldest home. Exhibits explore the history of Norwood Park, Chicago, and the house, while the archives support research into local history, buildings, genealogy, and related subjects. Docents are available during museum hours to share community history and answer general questions. Visitors can also arrange an in-person research appointment. The house includes meeting and event space, and the society welcomes groups and school field trips with advance contact. Museum and museum store hours are Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. or by appointment. The society is located in northwest Chicago.
