This museum is mostly a Ulysses S Grant museum. It has a ton of smaller things, pictures, collectibles, etc. There was a section showing off lots of highways, counties, towns, and other things named after Grant. There's a lot more than you'd think! While we were there, there was a clay sculptor finishing up several large busts of various important people from the era. It was very neat seeing it in action! Just like the Grant Home, this museum relies on donations. Don't be afraid to give a couple of bucks to keep this piece of Illinois history alive.
