Northwestern Sanitary Fair (also known as the Great Northwestern Sanitary Fair) was a fund-raising event of the United States Sanitary Commission (USSC), held in Chicago, Illinois. It opened on May 30 and closed on June 21, 1865. It was the second time such a Sanitary Fair was held in the city, the first time being in 1863. Although the civil war had come to a sudden close, there was still great need of funds to care for the disabled of the Union Army.[1]
