Uncover the fascinating story of the Chicago River at the McCormick Tribune Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum, located inside the southwest tower of the Michigan Avenue Bridge. The five-story Beaux-Arts bridge tower is itself a relic of another time, when bridge tenders occupied the narrow structure. The museum also houses the gears that lift the landmark bridge.
