Museum

“Wow! You must get a tour of this amazing gem. Museum/event center/community educuation & enrichment/art gallery. Lauren Parks was an amazing ambassador; she squeezed me & my mom in last minute before we moved my mother to Texas literally the next day (shoutout to Annie P. Clark) Amazing array of memorbilia, excellent quick film on Miles & his accomplishments as well as art gallery - do not take for granted the level of talent displayed. Beautiful grounds and love the dedication to community events & education. If you're in the Greater STL metro area you've got to put this on your list - so many amazing ragtime/blues/jazz/rock-n-roll greats have a history in the area and the work that this amazing non-profit has put into preserving this treasure is greatly appreciated. Thank you again Lauren & Annie. Sincerely, Kimberly Barnes (yep, I'm old - shared email w/ my husband who was holding down the fort here in TX while I helped my Mom move closer to us)”

Wood River Museum and Visitor Centerville

Address: 40 W Ferguson Ave, Wood River, IL 62095, USA

Museum

“It feels like an episode of the Twilight Zone in a good way, but it feels like if you do something like eat the food or say a magical word you could get stuck in a time loop, which is how a small town museum should feel. I wish it was larger.”

Fort de Chartres State Historic Site

Address: 2006, 1350 State Rte 155, Prairie Du Rocher, IL 62277, USA

Museum

“Interesting park with unique, partially reconstructed French fort. Very limited signage on the grounds. There is a small museum on site that tells a great history of the area. There were no guides at the fort when we were there on a holiday weekend which was unfortunate. Still a very scenic and unique historical site at a very rural location that tells an important story of early North American history. Seems like it could be so much more with additional resources.”

Katherine Dunham Museum

Address: 1005 Pennsylvania Ave, East St Louis, IL 62201, USA

Museum

“Historic! I met Katherine Dunham on several occasions. She was filled with joy, knowledge and blessed by her gifts the creator instilled in her. She traveled much not to mention came home and made a huge impact on her community. My first time visiting the INSIDE of her museum I was amazed (Wish I took pictures). While I was there we honored the late Charmaine Savage, who also was a pillar of the community. 2 for the price of one.”
