Program areas at Western Illinois Museum
Collection: We preserve over 6,000 artifacts that tell the story of the lives and accomplishments of the people that have lived and made west central Illinois their home.
Public Programs: We present an average of 35 programs annually that engage and foster conversations among 4,000 visitors to the Museum. Programs focus on building an understanding of the region's history and culture. COVID restrictions have negatively impacted both attendance nd the number of programs we offered in 2021.
