Program Description
Event Details
For decades, Christmas in Chicago meant a trip or two to State Street. This new lecture explores the history of Christmas at the big department stores stores on State Street. Historian Leslie Goddard will use photos, ads and memorabilia to trace the cherished traditions including the animated window displays and beloved characters like the Cinnamon Bear and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
