Adopt an Artifact! is a unique program offered by the St. Charles History Museum that allows people to “adopt” various artifacts from the Museum’s Collection. Artifacts may be adopted for up to a year and can be renewed.
In celebration of this historic landmark year, the St. Charles History Museum will be celebrating the legacy of local women who fought for suffrage and helped to shape St. Charles into the city it is today in our fall temporary exhibit. In preparation of the exhibit and in honor of Women’s History Month, take a look at some of the most influential women in St. Charles history.
The St. Charles History Museum is excited to be featured in the Kane County Chronicle’s article Women’s History Month highlights accomplishments, contributions. The article highlights events and exhibits on local history for Women’s History Month.
Be sure to come stop by the Museum in March to see our window display about local Women’s History!
*Special tours may be scheduled ahead of time for any day of the week, including Monday
