HISTORY OF THE HALL
CSHOF was founded in 1979 as a trailer owned by the Olympia Brewing Company parked at Soldier Field in Chicago. The Chicago Park District took over the exhibits in 1983. From 1988 the exhibits were displayed in Mike Ditka's restaurant until the restaurant closed in 1991. The Hall of Fame moved to the Maryville Academy in Des Plaines in 1996 and was operated under the guidance of Father John P. Smyth. Today the CSHOF is ran by Charlie Carey who serves as President.
