Event Details

Join musician, historian, and radio personality Clarence Goodman for a lecture about Chicago "101": All the stuff you've heard about, read about and seen in the movies including our landmarks and treasures.

If you have an interest in Chicago history, Clarence is your man. He has not only been called "...a history savant...", but his Al Capone and Serial Killers Tours helped Weird Chicago Tours to become one of the most recognized tour companies in the Second City. Since working with Tours By Locals, Chicago Trolley Company & Double Decker Buses, Chicago Hauntings, and Weird Chicago Tours, Mr. Goodman has created his own service - Chicago Tours! - specializing in Chicago's unique past. In addition to actual tours of historic sites, he has perfected the "virtual tour" over more than a dozen Chicago-themed subjects.

Clarence will be presenting in the library, please join us in person or on Zoom.
