The Evanston History Center in the Charles Gates Dawes House
About this place
A museum in the restored home of former Vice President Charles Gates Dawes, a National Historic Landmark built in 1894. The house itself is the main attraction: a grand chateauesque mansion with twenty-five rooms, including a cherry-paneled library, vaulted dining room with musicians' gallery, and twelve fireplaces, overlooking Lake Michigan. Families can tour the house and explore exhibits drawn from the center's collection of over 100,000 artifacts, including photographs, documents, decorative arts and a nationally known costume collection. The center also runs discussion talks about Evanston's history and architecture, held in the house and around the city.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
