What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Exhibitions
We believe that engaging, listening, and encouraging life-long learning is the best way we can fulfill our mission. As a museum, we collect what we believe fosters connections to what our community values. Our artifacts become the vehicle we use to start the conversation. For authentic connection, all voices need to be heard and shared, and we work to collect what represents all people in our community. To make the best decisions for our own and collective future, we rely on the conversation around our past to advance civic-minded thinking, foster empathy, and empower the next generation.
Preservation
Collect and preserve items from west central Illinois including audio recordings.
Educational Programs
To make the best decisions for our own and collective future, we rely on the conversation around our past to advance civic-minded thinking, foster empathy, and empower the next generation.
