The Chicago Marine Heritage Society - About Us
The Chicago Marine Heritage Society was founded in 1999 to assist Chicago area museums, charitable organizations, and federal, state and local government agencies in achieving success in their marine heritage oriented projects. The Society found that there was a wealth of initiatives by these organizations that met the Society's goals and were in need of logistical, administrative and legal support. The Society has helped these Chicago organizations achieve many diverse projects, including monuments, exhibits, regular programs and special events. The Society is able to operate independently from its own resources, without solicitation of funds or membership, and does not accept Government grants or fees for its services.
