Additional Information
In 2009, the Chicago Park District acquired the land and a building that was the former home of the National Vietnam Veteran’s Art Museum and converted the building into a fieldhouse. More property was acquired in 2009 and 2010 from the City of Chicago to complete the park. The City retained ownership of the historic Clarke House Museum and the land underneath, which is surrounded by the park.For directions using public transportation visit www.transitchicago.com.
