Several years ago I went to this wonderful museum with my sons grade school class. This is a first class operation! The gentleman that gave our tour was simply amazing with his knowledge and presentation! I no longer live in Illinois, but hope to return to see this again.
As someone who lives in Illinois, i can confirm this is one of the best military museums in the state. Last time i was there the gardens were under renovation, but when its finished it will probably be more beautiful than it was before. Anyone going should also check out the mansion if they want a history of McCormick's family and the grounds itself.
I saw Gary Sinise and the lieutenant Dan band at Cabtigny in Winfield Illinois. I love his work with the USO and other charitable organizations benefiting our troops in service members.
This video doesn't do justice how interesting and wonderful this museum is. My first trip there the museum was all one room , then once this was developed into what is there today, it is so much better with experiencing what a WW1 foxhole is like, living in barracks to landing on a D day beach. Its quite amazing
not been there since i left wheaton s a child. time to revisit this place. climbing on the tanks was always the highlight of my time there. yet so much more to see.

Cantigny Park is a wonderful place! I have been there multiple times and feel as if I have a personal connection to the First Divsion Museum.
Such a cool place, when I was high school I got extra credit for going there. Me and my dad and a really great time
Its probably the best WG vid
Glad you like it! We have more!!!
