The Berwyn Historical Society is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and disseminating historical information about the City of Berwyn including its architecture, its people, communities, businesses, economics,
cultures and ethnicities past and present, and its overall societal footprint as a near-west Chicago suburb.
We share our collection with the community at our museum. Admission is always free. This helps us to further our mission of sharing Berwyn’s history with everyone.
