The Chicago Historical Society is the Official historian of our city. It was founded in January, 1856, just nineteen years after Chicago became a city, and forty-four years after the Fort Dear born Massacre. We are grateful to the founders - William Brown, William B. Ogden, and William Berry - and to the many Officers and public spirited citizens who have continued the fine work Of the Chicago Historical Society.
