January 4, 2023 at 6:29 amToghether with my wife and two sons, I visited the Museum last thursday 29th of Decemebr 2022. I found it dramatically interesting, and the two hours we have spent in it where unfortunately not enough to see everything. We had the privilege to receive lots of useful informations and explanations from a lady/guide that was extremely kind and patient with us. I just wanted to thank very, very much for such an interesting visit (a hilights in our first short trip to Chicago!) and to congratulate for the passion with which the Museum preserves the amazing history of the Polish presence in the United States!
