SAVE THE DATE! ERA'S 2026 NATIONAL CONVENTION WILL BE IN CHICAGOLAND!
We are working on having this convention from September 1 to 5, 2026. This is subject to change if there are significant local Chicago events which dramatically raise hotel prices. We end just before Labor Day so you can miss Labor Day return crowds!
Do not make vacation plans till the final flyer comes out in January 2026. Potential activities include visits to regions famous museums, think Illinois Railway Museum, the Fox River Trolley Museum, East Troy Railroad Museum, the heritage operation in Kenosa, WI, the downtown Milwaukee streetcar, and last but not least a trip on Chicago Transit Authority's historic "L" fleet. This is ERA's first visit since 2011. More details will be forthcoming! Watch this space!
