  It's a small museum that is big on Chicago's maritime history. I recommend it for anyone who is curious about how Chicago became Chicago. The waterways play a huge part. The curator is very knowledgeable and can answer any question. Me and my wife stopped in on a whim was pleasantly surprised to find that we enjoyed our visit.
