(C) The Adventurers Club

Site design by Affordable Business Computing

Our club motto hangs high above our downtown Chicago loft  space and reads: The Adventurers Club, 1912, To provide a hearth and home for those who have left the beaten path and made for adventure...

 

The Long Table, is our gathering place to eat and  shoot the  breeze.... The Adventurers Club serves lunch everyday and is open frequently for adventure programs and events.

 

Many of our members from years passed, like Teddy Roosevelt were big game hunters.  Here are a few museum pieces found on the wall. Around the mantle are pictures of some of our more famous members like Roald Amundsen who was the first human to reach the South Pole.  Next to him is a  photo of Sir Ernest Shackelton who just a few years earlier than Amundsens historic journey reached within 90 miles of the pole and held the record.

 

The Sign of the Whale is the name of our bar.  Can you guess why this is  the name?

 

One of our treasures displayed in our museum ... is a  Mastadon tusk.
