The American Writers Museum in Chicago, Illinois

 

I recently learned about The American Writers Museum in Chicago, Illinois, which opened in 2017. I would to love visit The American Writers Museum as I loving reading and of course, would love to learn more about various American writers. 

I had fun browsing The American Writers Museum's website and learning more about this museum. I discovered the museum's mission as follows:

THE MISSION OF THE AMERICAN WRITERS MUSEUM IS TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN CELEBRATING AMERICAN WRITERS AND EXPLORING THEIR INFLUENCE ON OUR HISTORY, OUR IDENTITY, OUR CULTURE, AND OUR DAILY LIVES.

The American Writers Museum strives to:

• Educate the public about American writers – past and present
• Engage visitors to the Museum in exploring the many exciting worlds created by the spoken and written word
• Enrich and deepen appreciation for good writing in all its forms
• Motivate visitors to discover, or rediscover, a love of reading and writing
• Inspire the young writers of tomorrow

I learned that The American Writers Museum also has a YouTube Page with plenty of videos to view. They also have a podcast. Additionally, they have an online calendar where you can sign up to watch live virtual events.
