| The
museum is a non profit organization and is fully funded by grants,
fundraisers, and donations. |
|
| Without
donations and many volunteers, this wonderful part of Iroquois County's
history |
|
| would
not be open for everyone to enjoy. If you have not visited the museum in the
last couple of |
|
| years,
please stop by. We have changed and added many new exhibits. |
|
|
|
| Please
call the museum at 815-432-2215 for additional information. Your support is
greatly appreciated. |
