Club Programs

 
Welcome!

Everyone enjoys the many interesting and educational programs at The Nineteenth Century Club. If this is your first visit, we invite you to join us at one of our unique blend of interesting programs right here in your neighborhood. Our calendar of exciting programs includes art experts, scholars, authors, and musicians. Special consideration is given to the culture and history of Chicago and the region. We also include many up-and-coming presenters - tomorrow's luminaries. Read about past luminaries that have walked our halls.

The public and guests are welcome to join us by the fireplace after the program for tea.
