About this place

A local history museum housed in the former home of Judge William D. Barry, a Kane County judge and friend to Abraham Lincoln. The collection holds over 10,000 photographs and 15,000 artifacts related to the area's past, including exhibits about Civil War veterans. Families can visit the permanent displays or arrange special guided tours by advance booking. The museum works with local disability services to welcome visitors with accessibility needs.

If you are a member here

A membership to St. Charles History Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
