Ways to get involved
Warehouse Workers
With a nod to the history of our building -a long time automobile garage- we call the museum’s storage area, The Warehouse. Built in 1941, it has all the features of a warehouse: big windows for light, and wooden bow trusses allowing for wide open space open for plenty of storage. We invite you to become a warehouse worker and help us manage our collection. You’ll get up close to the museum’s artifacts and learn about history first hand. We need your help to inventory and add items to our collection management database. There are many ways to help and no experience is needed. All you need is an interest in cool old stuff. We’ll provide instructions and training along with some good company!
Questions? What to help? Give us a call at 309.837.2750 or text us at 309.837.2613 and we’ll set up a time to get started.
