More Than Just a Museum
While the First Division Museum at Cantigny in Wheaton, Illinois, is the most visible and recognizable part of what we do, it is only a portion of a much larger entity. The Cantigny First Division Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization that serves to preserve, interpret and present the history of the 1st Infantry Division in the context of American military history and affairs.
The foundation accomplishes this through:
- Colonel Robert R. McCormick Research Center
- Cantigny Military History Series
- Educational programs
- Outreach programs
While the museum itself hosts over 110,000 visitors each year, the foundation reaches another 300,000 through its publishing program, parades with its historic military vehicles, guest speakers, radio and television broadcasts, history trunks to schools and other programs.
