Driehaus Museum Road Trip

Sixteen DES members enjoyed a wonderful trip to the Driehaus Museum on June 18, 2014. The Gilded Age home was built in the 1880s for banker Samuel Mayo Nickerson and the museum was founded by Richard Driehaus, DePaul Trustee, in 2003. Mr. Driehaus commissioned a five-year restoration effort to preserve the stucture and its magnificent interiors.  Read more about the Driehaus Museum.

Enjoy the slide video from the day.

Save the Dates: Spring Luncheon and Driehaus Tour
