The Museum will be closed May 2 through May 16 for painting and a refresh of the exhibits. Our new museum exhibits will open to visitors on Saturday, May 23. They will focus on celebrating the history of Norwood Park, Chicago and the Noble-Seymour-Crippen House – Chicago’s oldest home built in 1833 with a fresh perspective and presentation of our unique history. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates and sneak peeks. Our Instagram handle is @chioldhouse.


Thanks to some recent very generous donors, we are at 70% of our goal! As required in our bylaws, the names of all donors are now posted at the House entrance (unless you want to be anonymous).
The Norwood Park Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 1973 has owned the NSCH since 1987. Recent major expenditures included replacing the aging south fence in 2024 and the NSCH museum’s tear off roof replacement in 2025. Unfortunately for us, this year’s annual appeal monies, so far, proved to be insufficient to cover these much-needed upkeep costs, forcing us to dip into our reserves. A big thank you and much appreciation goes to those individuals and businesses that have already contributed to support our mission!
Please help us get to 100% of our needed goal. Your name will be noted.
THANK YOU.
