      Visiting the museum

      Be Pleasantly Surprised

      You won’t find it on an Army base, or next to the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., or even in downtown Chicago. You will find one of the finest military museums in the country located in Wheaton, Illinois, in the middle of a beautiful park about as far removed from fighting and war as a visitor can imagine. Located on a wooded site in the midst of Cantigny Park, the First Division Museum is visited by over 110,000 people each year and is known for its realistic exhibits and immersing galleries.
