Program Description

Event Details

October 2021 marks the 150th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire! It started in a barn-- and two days of flaming hell later, nearly destroyed a city. This multimedia storytelling event weaves together technical details of the fire with vivid firsthand accounts from those who lived through the conflagration of 1871.

Please note: This program will be online only and will not be in-person at the library. A link will be mailed to all registrants to attend the program virtually.
