American Writers Museum

"Loved it! I was there during thanksgiving break at it wasn’t busy at all giving me time to browse mostly everything. I bought the ticket online literally 30 min before going in, free maps at the entrance will help you navigate the building without the needs of a guide. The gift shop is also great 👍🏼"

"Great little museum for anyone interested in American literature, American history, or both! Very interactive exhibits with something for everyone."

"I had a wonderful experience there I really got to know new things about American history …there was this section where you can type your own story on the vintage typewriter that was very interesting …another part that I liked was there were some cards hanging where immigrants can share there own story in their own words …those little notes were so impactful and really tells a lot about immigrants’ struggle … the Museum has also a section where you can read the books of renowned writers and learn about American culture and history. I definitely recommend visiting this museum"

"I spent more than an hour here, and yet there are still things I didn’t get to explore. What a great museum for everyone to learn more about their favorite books and writers! Children can have a lot of fun in the children’s book room, but adults can also enjoy the interactive environment designed to engage with every writer’s life. You can learn about each American writers across all states. Fell free to study your state! Finally, you’ll be able to create your own bookmark with your favorite books, and last but not least, you can become a writer and use an old typewriter to write like one! A must-visit when you’re in Chicago."
