Back Home: Polish Chicago
The Chicago History Museum is currently running an exhibition called Back Home: Polish Chicago at their Clark Street space. The House Historian highly recommends a visit to this exhibition!
In addition to the physical museum presentation, the History Museum is collecting images from community members, which can be submitted here:

The exhibition does not have any soccer related material, so it would be very helpful to have House community members with interest in Polish soccer in Chicago submitting material.
Some of the images submitted by House Historian:
Polish National Alliance team from Wisla Soccer Club Website
The Chicago Falcons (formerly Polish Athletic Association Club) 1953 US Open Cup Championship team from the Province Newspaper 03 October 1953.
Janusz “John” Kowalik, Polish International with Chicago Sting 1976 from NASLJerseys.com
Polish international player Peter Nowak with 1998 US Open Cup trophy from Chicago Fire website.
