Bohemian Club (Chicago)

The Bohemian Club (Czech: Česká beseda) is a club founded in 1899 that was frequented by Chicago's Czech elite, as well as the visiting elite from Czechoslovakia. The club was used as a place to share Czech culture, drama, music and literature.^[1]

It was visited by numerous well-known people of Bohemian descent, such as Anton Cermak, Rudolf Friml, George Halas and Otto Kerner Jr.^[2] It also served as host to Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the founder and first President of Czechoslovakia.^[3] It is active in the west suburbs of Chicago to this day.
