We had a terrible experience here. The staff lied to us over the phone about being able to see an exhibit and then became unresponsive to emails and phone calls, even after being asked to send emails and to call. This is really not a museum...its small, poorly managed and led, very short hours of operation and not worth the stop.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Are individual service members listed there and how do you apply to have a name listed

Donna Philiben | Sep 29, 2022

We do not have a listing of service members. We are the museum for the Illinois National Guard and the Air National Guard. The only thing that has names listed on it is the memorial out front that has the names of the Guardsmen from Illinois who were killed during the Global War on Terror (Opperations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom)
