East Side Chamber of Commerce

The East Side Chamber of Commerce is a business and resource organization that has been been proudly serving the Calumet Region since 1925. Located along Lake Michigan and benefitting from the expansion of public transportation into downtown, the ESCC works to poise this culturally diverse community for Chicago’s next corridor of growth.

The ESCC invites you to visit our community's retail shops, experience a variety of wonderful restaurants, enjoy fishing and hunting at our nearby lakes and state park, bike our pathways and learn about the environment at our open space reserves.

The Chamber has a variety of area information for business and community newcomers, as well as those seeking to relocate.

We're here to assist you.

Southeast Historical Society

Founded as a result of the bicentennial Town Meeting of 1976, the East Side Historical Society became reality in large part because of the efforts of East Sider James P. Fitzgibbons.

On March 20, 1977, Fitzgibbons called a meeting that included Gertrude Robb, Ora Coon and Lois Stevenson. Soon joined by Mildred Barnay, Alex Beifus, Kathy Dawson, Harry Mallek, Tom Mollo, Amelia Nelson, Esther Ringman Rydell, Louise Stiers, Linda Vertrees, Lucille Waszkiewicz, Maria Zvonkovich and others, the organization slowly gained recognition within the East Side, Hegewisch, South Chicago and South Deering communities that comprise the service area of the society.

The first recorded activity of the society was an Art Fair and sale held during "Old Fashioned Days," July 11 and 12, 1977.

The Southeast Historical Society has two working locations. The James P. Fitzgibbons Historical Museum is located in the Calumet Park Field House, at 98th Street and Avenue G. The operating hours of the museum are from 1:00 to 4:00 P.M. each Thursday of the year, except Christmas and New Year's days.
