BURNHAM 100 PROJECT

For more information: www.burnham100plan.org

2009 will mark the 100th anniversary of the plan created by Daniel Burnham for the metropolitan Chicago area.  This plan envisioned connected parks throughout the area, from Milwaukee through Chicago to South Bend.  The plan and its philosophy are responsible for how this area has been developed over the past 100 years.

To celebrate the anniversary some new projects have started the will be available to visitors in 2009.  The Museum is one of the institutions that will participate in the development of these projects.  This page will be updated regularly.
