Housed in the 1884 Turner Town Hall, the Museum showcases Illinois’ first railroad community. Come see our permanent local history exhibit "Building Community" which examines the story of hard-working immigrant families who built our town, and the railroad that shaped our community. Come see our two new exhibits: "Building Community: Creating a Dialogue about Mexican Contributions to West Chicago through Oral Histories," is an exhibit made possible by a Save Our History grant from The History Channel. The exhibit will display oral histories of Mexican immigrants to West Chicago collected through a joint project with Community High School students who helped record the stories of Mexican Community members. "Century of Progress" will exhibit Chicago’s 1933-1934 World’s Fair through the eyes of local residents. See some of the unique souvenirs collected by local and area residents. Children will also get the chance to attend a World’s Fair first hand through our children’s area set up to replicate the experience.
