First Division Museum at Cantigny, Wheaton

Absolutely amazing museum! I was extremely impressed by how each room you walked through was designed to immerse you into the environment and conditions of each conflict. My favorite section was how you watched a video on D-day in a replica personal carrier like you where on your way to storm the beach. When the video ended the screen went up and it looked like you where actually there! All the information and items they had on display was very interesting and informative. The tanks outside where great to see as well too! It only cost $5 dollars for parking, which is a great deal! The whole complex looked like it had a lot to offer. I unfortunately ran out of time to see it all. I would definitely recommend stopping by this site if you are in the area!

I was there to see the Alebriji sculptures, which are phenomenal. As my friend and I made our way to each sculpture, we took in the well-tended, beautiful gardens. Walking through the War Exhibit, I could see how Cantigny would be a great field trip for kids. Kids of all ages can learn from a variety media. It is certainly a family-friendly place to visit. The people who work here are kind and helpful. You only pay a reasonable parking fee. Pack a picnic lunch (There is a place on-site to grab a bite. ) and head on over!
