summary

We enjoyed our trip this important Chicago attraction, and found the accessibility in the Museum easy to navigate. However, with just one handicapped parking spot outside the museum, we had to park on the street without a sidewalk.


review

DuSable Museum, named after Chicago's first non-native settler, Jean Baptiste Point du Sable boasts permanent exhibits that celebrate several landmarks in African American history. Thought provoking exhibits bring 400 years of African-American history from the early days of slavery to Civil Rights marches to life.

We gave this attraction only two stars because of the inadequate accessible parking situation. The museum offers easy wheelchair access throughout with elevators to every floor, but Accessible Chicago only found one Handicapped Parking spot on the museum site. Wheelchair equipped vehicles will have to park on the street and then walk to the museum.
