On October 8, 1871, a fire began on the near south side of Chicago that would grow into a three-day conflagration remembered today as The Great Chicago Fire.
On the great fire’s 150th anniversary, author William Pack presents a program based on his book, “The Essential Great Chicago Fire.” Join us for a look back at the tragic event that led to Chicago’s triumphant emergence as one of the world’s great cities.
Wednesdays @ One events are presented FREE of charge, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Colonial Cafe.
