Friends of the Chicago River extends a warm welcome to all our new McCormick Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum Individual Insider Club members! Your museum membership supports Friends’ efforts to reveal the Chicago River as a natural, recreational and economic treasure and build support for its continued recovery.

If you purchased an Insider Club membership on Groupon.com, you can redeem your voucher at the Bridgehouse Museum during regular museum hours, starting September 30, 2010 through September 30, 2011.

The Bridgehouse Museum is located at 376 N. Michigan Avenue, in the western bridge tower at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive. Our main entrance is on the Riverwalk level. The museum is open Thursday - Monday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

Please note that our museum is seasonal and is open through October 31. The museum will be closed between November 1st, 2010 and May 15, 2011. If you do not redeem your Groupon voucher(s) before October 31, 2010, you may again redeem your voucher(s) starting May 15, 2011 through September 30, 2011.

The Insider Club membership is valid for 12 months from the day you redeem your voucher. This guarantees you access to the museum for approximately six months of museum season, although those six months may straddle two summer seasons.

As an Individual Insider, you are entitled to the following benefits:

Unlimited free admission to the Bridgehouse Museum

• Two free museum passes to share with friends

• $3 discount on bridge lift tickets

• 10% discount on museum merchandise

• Invitations to lectures at the Bridgehouse Museum and other Friends of the Chicago River special events
